There you have it @Robert BurnsI hope this has not been going on long and am quite curious how you have a self directed IRA with a RE investment already in it and were not properly advised on how this all works. Hopefully

Has anyone had success deducting fees from a REI membership that includes coaching/courses/workshops/etc without an entity in place?

If you're interested, there is a workshop that's going to take place Feb. 13 in Napa.

After leaving a real estate workshop "No Money, No Bank, No Credit" They mentioned this idea called Wrap around.If people do not know , this is basically you as the seller, giving the buyer the ownership of the house an option to purchase an asset , if they cannot qualify for a conventional loan.

I will have to try and make it soon, we missed you at Investors Workshops this week!

If you have your own money to lend, much easier, but if you are getting investors, lots of SEC hoops to navigate.Here is a workshop this month that I am thinking of attending:http://www.groupsponsor.com/?

The property has 2 bedrooms and 1 bath in the " Main " part of the house and then it has a 2nd-unit ( which use to be a workshop , before someone turned it into a liveable type unit, with a kitchen, 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom )This is connected to the Main house via the roofline ONLY..... there is about 20 ft. walking distance between the two ..... the Main house and the workshop ( 2nd-unit )I called the Local Tax Assessor , to confirm that is it still considered on record and via court house documents as a single family residence , with a workshop / liveable space , and they confirmed that it is Back in 2006 we had the property appraised, and this is exactly how the appraiser appraised it ..... as a single family residence with an attached workshop / liveable space Well, I had an appraiser come out 4 weeks ago, and they said it was a 2-unit property and that they could NOT do an appraisal on it, because there are no other comparable properties in the area to compare it to ( other 2 unit properties ) I am in need of a Lender who can make sure and get an appraiser who will view/ look at and appraise the property as they did back in 2006 ..... as a single family with an attached workshop/liveable space I have heard that with an FHA loan, that there are the following forms , for a property such as the one I am trying to purchase....

The garage was very large—it contained a workshop and a chicken coop.

Not a residential/commercial location with a garage aka work shop of some sort.
