that didn't make sense to me that if i have my ira with you then you will put who the owner is but if i don't have it with you you wont' put anything.anyways, she def didnt' give me indication that she exactly knew. maybe i had a bad agent and since i was already skeptical of using a small bank, that def turned me off.at chase my account shows that it's a business account under an llc. i am the manger of llc, the only thing that worried me is that they put me as a the owner of llc. this seemed no diff to me that when you go get an ein, it also puts you the owner of llc. if irs itself can have this limitation in getting the ein, then surely they would understand the limitation of the bank. besides, i have a fully complying operating agreement in which i have a clause that explains while irs ein letter shows me as the owner, in reality it is my ira that is owner and that that there are limitations on irs website when obtaining an ein. i will jsut be adding a similar explanation in my operating agreement about bank acct and have all the supporting documentation in case if it's ever needed. but that's where i am at.i wish this process was simpler/ easier. it is also very frustrating that the custodian doesnt' telll you anything. they all market you can have a checkbook ira but don't really guide you in HOW to do it practically. all these rich ppl are doing it and i doubt they are going through all these hoops. ...

Last resort and the most difficult-find a hard money lender, but come with a plan on how you are planning to make him/her obtain a profit.

They told my attorney that they were trying to obtain “seed” capital (from me) to finance the lawsuit against their true targets.  

My husband on the other hand is not tied to the mortgage and has the ability to obtain a conventional lloan as a first time homebuyer.

It was bonus that CA had near fixed property taxes.The low vacancy rate decreases the odds of getting a bad tenant because the tenants realize then will need a good LL reference to obtain local housing. 

They city required that I replace the best sidewalks in the neighborhood under the program and the cost was substantially higher than estimates I obtained on my own. 

I am frustrated about that but it will be worth it to obtain the grant.

If I had ten thousand liquid cash to spend, I'd probably do a house hack two-family and obtain an FHA loan with only 3.5% down.
