Anyways, I wanted to know if any one self manages their rentals that are owned by their self directed IRA or a trust?

Surrounding oneself with success is one of the best ways to be successful and I hope I can absorb as much experience and positivity here as possible. 

Very true  Roy NAs a starter I would think -- a combination of flipping with rentals would be good, till one can establish oneself as a wholesaler.

I am looking for some advice in regards to the best contracts to use for every stage of the wholesale transaction in MA as well as the most transparent verb-age for clear disclosure; and also the best clauses to use to cover oneself risk and inspection wise that would still be presenting the seller with the most attractive offer possible.

@Steve @Steve Combs,  @Bill Gulley and @Kevin Siedleckiagree that in order to be taken seriously, one must at least put forth the effort to briefly introduce one self to the colleague you wish to address.

The mission and purpose will keep you in the game.Making money or freeing oneself from a job is not it.  

And as such, does that mean that it's not a good time to buy if we're at the top of the market, and it would behoove oneself to wait until the inevitable bust, and prices drop? 

Maybe they know more and see more than one self does.This is not meant offensively.Every time someone disagrees with me...

"Mankind is divided into rich and poor, into property owners and exploited; and to abstract oneself from this fundamental division; and from the antagonism between poor and rich means abstracting oneself from fundamental facts."

The idea that shielding oneself from 'decision making and management' as a benefit of investing in a real estate syndication through a crowdfunded deal, either via a marketplace or directly with a sponsor, is a novel idea.Certainly, from a day-to-day perspective this is true; one need not spend time handling the general management of a project.
