Quote from @Travis Timmons: My take is that if a fund has an influencer's name attached to it, they're core competency is promotion and fund raising rather than being a good operator.

All said, you will find many folks within these forums that are strong promoters of self-directed IRAs.

Anybody wishing to know more or have questions, please message me for my contact number.My original post was for removed by an administrator as they classed it as a promotion of business.

It is a simple rule of thumb to help you mentally filter through deals.

I'm not self promoting.

We paid $232,447.36 out to 36+ different trades & vendors for this home.This $232K creates jobs and promotes growth because it is spent and recycled in the economy, creating a ripple effect.Congratulations to the Greatleaf Homes Team for another new construction home closing today!

Mentally not an option.Had my current caretaker trim this stub with a chainsaw and send the pictures as an example.This limb should have been trimmed when this tree was around 2 to 5 years old. 

The 3rd thing that has reshaped my entire opinion of the tax advantages of real estate, is seeing my 88 grandfather holding five quite valuable illiquid properties, long story short it’s a mess, it’s causing family drama, he is in zero shape physically or mentally to manage them, the all have cap-ex needs, again these were amazing buy’s literally multiple properties he bought for under 50k that are now worth over a million but there is probably a time and a place for owning real estate, so I don’t really have a need to own more than maybe a few properties into retirement.

With that being said, I’m starting to see more of the benefits in some of what he promoted.  

I'm starting to wonder if Dealmachine is just really great at promotion of the product.
