@Chris Morris have ALWAYS seen bad "deals" from rookie wholesalers that really don't understand what they are doing to provide value to the industry.It's getting worse because the real estate market has recovered from the 2010 Crash, yet many are still using tactics & methods developed during this time.Everyone in the industry needs to go back and look at what was being done BEFORE 2010 and start using those methods, updating them with current technology.

From what I read and understand, this means I'm likely going to struggle with getting a loan, not even considering the inability to pay any down payment.On the other hand, my parents have significant liquid assets, (think on the order of > 500k), that they are potentially looking to diversify into real estate.

Just came off his webinar which was obviously a replay even though they made it appear as live.Lots of sales techniques like social proof, testimonials, people buying it live, time scarcity...understandable else it's proven that people don't buy combined with the fact that Jerry is a busy man...Have things changed as of today?

However, when seeking a non-recourse lender, I suggest starting by reaching out to lenders who specialize in working with self-directed IRAs, as they’re more likely to understand the requirements.

South Florida has plenty of solid investment opportunities, especially with the right network.

Hi Hunter,It sounds like you've built a solid foundation in real estate with a variety of experiences—that’s awesome!

It's important to understand the zoning/code requirements and obtain all necessary permitting if you intend on operating your real estate as STR anywhere in the country.

Drive around the neighborhoods to understand the lay of the land - if you have someone who will take you around and explain, better yet. 

We understand that tax complexities can be challenging, but our experience shows that many of these barriers can be overcome with a strong local team.

Therefore, any strategic/investing where you have a solid plan to get most/all of your capital back would be my target for this type of capital.
