This really caught me off guard and I personally felt as if this was a bad way to establish a relationship with a new client.

@Haemi Jung A 1031 exchange is not a bad option if you have a gain on the property.

They are out there but rates pretty bad seen stuff in the 9s 

There are a lot of reasons that is a bad idea.On the other hand, if you could buy the entire condo and turn it into a small apartment, there may be an opportunity. 

If you sold your home its not a bad idea to do a little BRRR move into the duplex to be able to put less down and move out in 6-12 months to transition it into a full rental. 

You really do not want to add to an IRA that has a SEPP in place.An IRA holding real estate is treated no differently than an IRA holding other investments when it comes to this program - other than you needing to manage your liquidity requirements a bit differently to meet the distribution schedule.

No one to refer, but when considering a blanket loan make sure to understand the how the loan would treat removing collateral from the pool.

This can often lead to bad purchased since neither focus on the fundamentals of the underlying real estate which is what ultimately drives value, appreciation and net profit.

Like everything else that has potential benefits, it is badly overhyped and misunderstood.

I think there are some sites that let you post land to camp on (i.e. tents).I'm not sure what the weather is like there as the only thing I know about new mexico is what I saw from breaking bad. :-)   But you might want to even consider putting up a yurt (glorified commercial tents that are relatively cheap) and furnishing it and then renting the place out on airbnb.Is there good fishing on that river?
