Becky is the the Director of Operations, she is awesome!

It took a few months of going back and forth on negotiating a price, mainly because the seller was an entity with a board of directors, which all had to agree on the responses.

The Whatcom County Association of Realtors is fortunate to have an excellent attorney as our Government Affairs director.  

Expressed in plain English, the framework is that all activities of the IRA must be exclusively for the benefit of the IRA, and there may be no direct or indirect benefit between an IRA and a disqualified party.This prohibition against benefit is a two-way street.  

For the first 12 years I worked for several large scale national developers / property management companies in Florida where I rounded out my career as a Director Of Property Management overseeing a portfolio of over 2,000 apartments throughout the state.In 2011 I moved back to my home town of Manchester NH to join my now business partners in growing a successful real estate development/property management company.

The rules prohibit the direct or indirect furnishing of goods, services, or facilities between a plan and a “disqualified person".

In a startup I was involved in, I seen a 21 year old girl get involved with my CEO and tank the whole business because he made her director of Marketing with little or no experience.

Today I attended a meeting where the Director of the Maryland Real Estate Commission commented on how they are becoming more viligent about flippers who fail to disclose material defects.  

@Dustin HavilandWhat you propose would not work.The IRS rules prohibit any direct or indirect benefit between a disqualified party and the plan.The key disqualified parties include:Plan holderTheir spouseParents, grandparents, etc.Children, grandchildren, etc.The spouse of a descendantAn entity such as a business or trust where one or more of the above have control via ownership or management authority.A self-directed IRA is not a means for you to derive any income other than in the future when you take distributions from the account.  

They are dealing with a board of directors so they don't get to decide things quickly.
