Quote from @Ryan Daulton: Since learning that cash flow from real estate that was purchased from self-directed IRAs is taxed, and that I would not be able to claim depreciation on this property, what are the advantages to buying real estate with self-directed IRAs vs. other investment types like stocks and mutual funds?  

@Chase Hoover that is awesome, congratulations.I would love to learn more about the deal and lessons you learned along the way.

Over time, I’d like to expand into short-term rentals, buy-and-hold properties, and flips.I’d love to connect and learn from this amazing community.

Thanks for being open on the lessons learned. 

The "New Development Pitch" turned out to be a really good learning experience.

@Lina Truong definitely submerse yourself in MTR learning for at least 2-3 months.

I've learned a lot this way.  

Hi everyone,I’m looking to dive into the real estate market here in the Des Moines/Metro area and would love to connect with experienced investors, agents, or professionals who are willing to share their insights.I’m particularly interested in learning about your experiences in this market—what’s worked for you, lessons learned, and any advice you’d have for someone getting started.

Hey everybody, I've been listening to BP podcasts for a couple years now, and I'm excited to finally get in here and start accelerating my learning and meet some like-minded people. 

I am learning a lot about the business that, had I not gone through this process, I wouldn’t have learned nearly as much.
