While you would be a disqualified party to your mother-in-law's IRA, she is not disqualified to your IRA.That said, you would want to be very careful in having your IRA deal with the company, and any transactions should be at normal market rates.IRS rules prohibit any direct or indirect benefit between an IRA and a disqualified party. 

I’ve read about HOA’s fees, condition of the HOA and the Board of Directors, slower appreciation than SFH, and difficulty selling the condo.

I don't do this "for a living" (I'm a Director of Technical Quality Assurance, for the record) and I don't know what I am within my rights to ask or demand of these guys.Reading the internet is a scary thing...

Every property we acquire going forward will have to be carefully analyzed  to see how much we want to maximize the depreciation and risk the FFE "loss" on a 1031.Let's say the case law established what many deem to be true about personal property (1245) even within real property,  no longer 'exchangeable" through 1031, here’s a great way to get around out it (courtesy of the director of our 1031 department):If you do cost segregation, thereby identifying personal property, you can no longer 1031 that property, BUT, that 5 year property is not taxed as capital gains, rather regular income tax rates on the depreciation recapture…(still following)Potentially up to 20-30% of the value of your property, that’s a lot!

It's like having a board of directors to help us steer this little ship!

Before relocating here to Missouri, I worked for 7 years in property management on the maintenance side, working my way up to Director of Maintenance for 600+ units in 8 different complexes.My wife and I are currently working with a couple partners who are located in California, and together we are searching for our first buy and hold investment property in the KC area.

Rising mortgage interests rates will make it even worse.Mark Sprague, state director of information capital for Independence Title, said that, "The desire to live in the city of Austin continues to drive home sales.

We just had an interesting opportunity arise-- we have a seasonal theater festival in town every summer, and the company is seeking housing for one it's directors. 

I didn't bust my butt all my life to give some charity a bigger advertising budget and another luxury summer home for their director.

I have been a Title Examiner and Director for over 7 years now handling many of the title processes from the basic re-fi's, to purchases, short sales, HELOC's, and reverse mortgages, taking loans from what we like to call 'from soup to nuts'.
