I used my Self-Directed Retirement Accounts to loan on several sheriff sale auction properties in the past.

I think you should focus on saving up and buying your own investments.

That's a tradeoff I'm happy to make right now.So far we have enough saved for a down payment (possibly 2), we've chosen a turnkey provider and market, and we've lined up funding for the first deal.

I saved the emails and text. 

Could be a savings depending on the scenario. 

This savings can then be reinvested into more properties, allowing your portfolio to grow faster.

This saves me tens of thousands of dollars a year.

John,Check out Inspectify.Even in our local market we use them for pre-purchase inspections, draw inspections, PM quarterly inspections.They are a saving grace.You're welcome hehe 🙏 Haven't heard of inspectify what makes them better? 

We have extensive equity available (over 400K) and extensive savings to get the project moving.

I see it time and time where a borrower tries to save on points, they go direct and end up falling out.
