@Jami MortonWhen I read your post above, It sounds - please correct me if I am wrong - as if you have a pile of IRA money and are out investing without much education.There is much more to navigating the tax code related to using a self directed IRA than "can't be for personal use".I hope your custodian or advisor provided you with some introductory guidance as to the rules for self directed IRA plans and/or that you have a good CPA or attorney guiding you.Flipping with a self directed IRA can be very profitable, but is an advanced strategy.All IRA transactions must be entirely at arm's length, meaning you can negotiate and make decisions, sign contracts, and handle expense and income transactions, but may not benefit in any way OR add benefit to the IRA through the provision of goods or services.  

This is a tricky market to navigate and find deals, but they are out there.

I am fairly new to this site as well & navigating my way, but not new to real estate investing. 

Now that you have made the move, below are some links that will help you navigate the site.

Although, I have recently ran across BP again and have been trying to do it right this time by navigating all of the resources, set my profile up, digging into forums, etc. 

Call CSLB regarding your case, file a complaint first if you need to.Feel free to call me if you need more help, rigorous government contracts teaches you a lot about government regulations and laws, including proper contracting practices.

Navigate it well, and it can be a lot of fun!

Whatever you end up doing, take the MHU bootcamp, or at a minimum, buy their home study course to help navigate the waters of parks as I would recommend buying a city sewer and city sewer park if possible for park 1.Also, don't get me wrong about parks like this, if you just want something close by home and strictly for the cash flow , this could be something for you.

What would be your best advice to navigate this issue so I can continue investing.

Thus I feel confident in navigating any questions you might have and am familiar with that market!
