In Nashville, much of the new apartments are considered luxury, which do not compete directly, only indirectly, with my portfolio.

But, when we get into the all-too-frequent world where community members directly or indirectly insult people or parties, we're over the line.

You can't invest in any transaction that involves an immediate family member, you and your family members can't benefit from the investment in any way (directly or indirectly), and you are not allowed to provide any services to the plan; all transactions must be "arm's length."

IRS rules stipulate there may be no direct or indirect transactions, benefit, or extension of credit between an IRA and a disqualified person.An example of a potential pitfall would be if the parent-in-law were to pass, and the spouse now inherits their estate - and thereby an interest in the loan to the IRA.If the willingness to lend or the terms of the note are well outside standard lending parameters, that could be viewed as a potential benefit.So, possible? 

From my understanding a third party HAS to handle any transactions as you are not technically allowed to "pay or indirectly benefit yourself". 

Curious if people have seen a big uptick in direct bookings/repeat customers since using it (or other email marketing software). 

I am 100% for real estate but I think debt is not a reason for one over the other(in most cases).Most publicly traded companies are highly leveraged.Therefore, indirectly your ownership is in an asset that is leveraged.

This has saved us thousands in direct mail and we'd love to help You be able to employ this technique in your market as well.

If I do that in direct ownership RE, I can conceivably purchase $500k worth of RE. 

In term of risk/reward ; appreciation and control ; direct single family ownership is winning all againts all these multifamily syndication that's facing massive supply issue + indirect control + cap rate issues.
