That is a clear benefit.What you are reading about the potential for joint ventures with disqualified parties is A) gray area, and B) something that would only apply if an IRA and a disqualified party were jointly purchasing an asset from scratch together. 

This is my first commercial venture. 

Best of luck on your ventures and feel free to reach out!

Good luck to everyone in their ventures!

The jury is still out for me on this but I hope to eventually venture into larger venues.

Hello, I just came across Bigger Pockets about 3 weeks ago and now want to start my real estate investment venture.

I will look into landlord tenant laws and start my funding venture.  97% of the asking price is high but then again if I can get a good MFR the rents will more than cover the monthly expenses, at least from what I have seen on the rental market. 

Here are some ways you can raise capital: 1) You can raise money through your family and friends, 2) seek a private money loan, 3) syndicate or joint venture the deal, or 4) ask the seller to carry the financing.With the seller finance option, you may still need to bring in a down payment, as it depends on how you negotiate with the seller.Where to raise capital is pretty important but how you structure your deal to entice investors to want to take part in your deal is equally important.

I understand they could possibly say "no," but nothing ventured, nothing gained. 

If renting then I’d venture to go more affordable as a renter won’t likely care about siding color.If you’re planning to sell then curb appeal and standing out makes sense.
