I would also guess that you have some realtor connections that can help you augment the off market leads in step #1.I am sure that you know that nothing can happen till you get a good funnel going in #1.

I understand that it would be easier said than done however I look at it in the scope of the way I could use Google SketchUp and create buildings or 3D models just on that software then find out where the software Engineers are and the computer coders and programmers are and connect with them for software that implements onto augmented reality such as an app you download for your phone and then put on those cardboard type of glasses didn't have a controller hooked up to it so you can navigate through the house if you're not able to go onto the property I do something long distance fire a virtual tour....just a thought

I don't have any recs. on self-directed IRA providers, but be sure to read up on UBIT (unrelated business income tax provisions) as they relate to leveraged real estate investments.I'm not a tax expert, but my understanding is that if your investment (likely an LLC) borrows money to help fund the purchase price, then your returns are subject to UBIT, which IMO defeats the purpose of IRA's.I've looked @ ways to use my IRA funds efficiently to fund IRA investments, and am going to start taking 72t  distributions (SEPP) in early Jan. to augment my MF investment funding.
