Marco's RE arm has certainly sold properties that I own..

That’s easier for a buyer to get into the deal, but for the seller it translates into them getting $38,400 for that same land instead of only $25k.The seller could also do a land contract, with essentially the same type of terms as with the owner-financed deal, the difference really being that instead of the seller having just a mortgage lien on the property till it’s paid off, they actually retain full ownership of the land until the contract is paid in full.I would have the seller tell you what they wanna get for it, then tell them you’ll add your fee to it and find a way to make it happen… and then come back a day or two later and tell them that you found a way for them to get their price, for you to get your fee, and for it to still be appealing to potential buyers… Then walk them through the deal, how it’ll work, explain to them how your way is more beneficial for them overall, explain how your way opens up the floodgates of potential buyers now, and most importantly explain to them that doing things deals this way is very common when buying and selling land, and how its really the only way for them to get what they want outta that land 👌If you act like an expert on the subject (or at least more knowledgeable than they are) I promise they’ll most likely just follow your lead because they trust you to get it done.And if they are truly motivated to sell, then they’ll welcome with open arms any creative thinking that will help them get what they want.Good luck!

Selling to yourself from your LLC to your IRA would be considered "self dealing" in that it isn't an arms length transaction since you are a principle/owner on both sides of the transaction. 2.

Examples: Medical Professional Financing (stronger rates and limited down), low down payments of 3.5-10% on jumbo primary, second home or investment properties, 10% down for investment properties of 1-4 units (with no PMI) and portfolio or private loans with attractive ARM or seller carried rates we negotiated. 

Armed with that information you can now make an offer to seller.

If you think it's going to drop if the fed cuts 5-7 times in the next year, it might make sense to look at an ARM with a 3 year declining PPP instead. 

The illegal process is to show up and chase him off the property, secure it again, and use methods to prevent entry again (dogs, security system, signs, armed person sleeping on the property, etc.).

And as new investor, you have to expect to be charged more than a builder, but armed with a little knowledge you can get a better price than a homeowner and still allow the contractor to make good money.For most construction work materials times two is a good guesstimate, so about $6k is likely a good price. 

And you can't buy it with your LLC to increase the value because it could be argued that it is not an arm's length transaction.
