Hi, I'm a Broker in MA with just one agent in the company (my admin).

The returns will likely be greater if you source the borrower and originate on behalf of the IRA.

What are you hoping to get out of the extra time, work and costs of having the LLC?

The won't insure you or they will jack up the price considerably. 

Just google the following: - special assessment - zombie condos - Florida condos (look for recent news)Since you are not living near the properties anyways, why not look in a landlord friendly state where the purchase prices are lower?

Some of the national data sites have pricing suggestions that run both high and low.

For many years, I've been studying and following this community to dive into the world of real estate as an investor.

Understanding the Pre-Foreclosure Process The pre-foreclosure process is the critical stage before a property is officially foreclosed upon.

I do a lot of private lending and we do make some passive interest, but the good fixing flippers make the bulk of the money.

I bit the bullet and bought into to the Deal Genie with Jerry Norton and Peter Conti.
