I have used both Traditional (pre-tax) funds, Roth and HSA.

That pathway could open up traditional bank financing but I'm not sure.

How do you navigate the wholesale transaction when buyer is wanting to use traditional financing?

It was like they won the lottery or something.

.- The 203(k) will allow you to bid on properties that need repairs that won't qualify for a traditional mortgage => less competition => better purchase price.You will need to find a great local contractor you can trust to supply the required bids to qualify for the 203(k).- After closing, you can do some of the work yourself to save money, but the program doesn't allow you to pay yourself.You will want to buy a Class B property, maybe Class C+, in an area that seems to be improving.

I see some conservative areas here who would traditionally support private property rights coming down heavy against STRs.

Hello,I recently transferred my traditional IRA into a SDIRA / checkbook LLC account and am working on closing on my 1st investment property.

In many/most BRRRRs that is irrelevant because when the property is bought it is often not fanciable using traditional mortgages.

Most from the BP community understand wealth is not created by just saving and investing (e.g. traditional 401K) unless you are able to start very young and just do it consistently for 30-40 yrs. 

When you do a traditional 1031 exchange you have 45 day identification period, to provide a list of potential replacement properties and 180 days to close on a replacement.
