What I hear you saying is if EACH of a person's SDIRAs - in this case one Traditional and one ROTH - did a deal together withOUT doing the LLC part of the puzzle that then that would make it so neither SDIRA could ever add more money into that first deal if needed, particularly if those SDIRAs did a partnership instead of just a simple 'tenants in common' arrangement? 

I'm stuck and need help finding the next piece of the puzzle! 

It's a big puzzle and you have to put the pieces together.  

@George YuOk I got that puzzle piece to fit in place.

There are a lot of moving pieces to the puzzle, I would read "The Pre-foreclosure Property Investors Kit" by Thomas Lucier.

More than one investor found a puzzle piece he was missing by doing so, like Who is paying the utilities on the duplex?

A sellers asking price is often nowhere near its true value.The puzzle piece number 3 is concerning.

I have a friend who just bought her first investment property, but labeled it as primary residence, obviously had no intention to move there.... she was even bragging about it, but it's whatever... let the banks solve the puzzle, not you, not your problems.

My wife may get a job offer out of state, in which we would relocate wherever that is, but I still do not think our DTI would allow us to access the majority of the equity in our place.The final piece to this puzzle is that our home sits on a flat usable 1/3 acre.

I love reading stuff that challenges my thinking.DC I like what you said and that is what keeps pushing me, I will never have it all together but that will never stop me from doing what I can do today.Karen, we don't have it all figured out here but we each have a piece of the puzzle and perspective and we're helping each other get there.If you don't have a clear vision how you want to use your gifts directly for greater impact, spend some alone time thinking it through and getting to the heart of the matter and dream, because you never know where it could lead.
