As a disqualified person to your IRA, you may perform very basic and limited administrative activities, but you may not personally benefit nor may you inject value into the IRA via the provision of goods or services. 

Another option is partnering with someone who has the cash to inject as a down payment. 

So, pros and cons, but as a longterm investment, little has as strong a track record as publicly traded stocks.Just injecting a balanced perspective into the (rightly) real-estate-favoring conversation!

Hence I use any opportunity I can to inject a better is better mentality into my investment talks.  

Also what happens if one partner injects more equity into the LLC?

Hardly anyone even posted on it, and yet I continued to inject my annoying comments into this forum over and over.

When the market turns on you, you will have very little options but to keep injecting blood (cash) on your own.

The DST model only allows minimum maintenance and not large capital injections so that takes out most upside properties.I have been asked to take 1031 money as a sponsor for a syndicate deal.

Being that you don't know him that well - the potential of $3k in profit does not out weight the risk of injecting $10k into this deal. 

You both have given me a lot to think about.Wheatie: that was just the "out of the box" thinking that I was hoping for.Gainsvillej: you injected a bit of caution on behalf of the argument, which was awesome.My question to you both is based on the suggestions that you both made, is there anything that you've seen work better & are there any options that you have yet to think of or mention.Wheatie you're right.
