I work with Paige Solberg and Lending Concepts as well as Eric Mayu at Mayu Capital.  

Plus...escape velocity...Episode 113 – Jay Papasan - Very practical slow and steady adviceEpisode 221 - Tim Shiner - his concept of equity build up and "shearing the sheep" shows some of the flexibility of real estate vs a 401k Last but not least, I also recommend all the tax advice given by my fellow CPAs on the BP Podcast.

You should also understand the concept of risk-adjusted returns (which is why coastal markets, often beat non-coastal markets). 

I understand the concept but don't have a number to relate it to.

The course combined with my BP lurking has got me feeling quite confident with the real estate lingo, different types of loans, and the basic concepts. 

They became more aware of "value," but their concept of money is beyond what we comprehend and they still had plenty of it in the recession.

However, educate yourself at least enough to know the concepts before deploying your money.

I know the concept of "East Nashville" has grown to Inglewood and beyond, and affordable housing in East has shrunk, but I have a tenant in need of a place for July 1. 

Love the BRRRR strategy as a concept - just getting harder to find properties that can fit these days.So a shift in strategy - how about borrowing money from my SDIRA LLC to buy an investment property, record the mortgage showing the LLC as a primary lienholder, and then do a rate and term refinance in the first 6-months to repay the LLC.Is that allowed, or does it violate the Self Directed IRA rules?
