If you have an understanding of real estate and think you can get better results growing your retirement savings in that asset class, then a self-directed IRA or Solo 401(k) is a means to do that.All investments are made in the name of the plan, all expenses come from the plan, and all return accrues to the plan.There are several different plan types and service models available.  

I know of HELOC, delayed financing, and FHA (203)k loans but I'm not sure these will maximize my investing potential in the long run and I don't plan on living at the property.  

Has anyone gone the route of trying  to get  all permit required before displaying bandit signs?

I do know that (as Christopher K points out) that seasonal fluctuations have been non-existent in the last 3 or 4 years.

Is it $14/K per parent?

I assume we will just treat this as ordinary income for the company and split it according to our by laws at the end of the year with our individual K-1s.My questions is , does this sound accurate?

The LLC would then deduct the mortgage interest, and the loan would only be recourse to your dad (reported on his K-1).

I am having issues getting pre-approved through a bank as I only have one year W2 job history and two years self employment history, even though I have 660 credit 10K saved and we'll make around 70 K this year all income combined.
