For the ignorant dummy who responded do not judge me wether or not why or why not if I can reach out to these home owners investors who are struggling with elderly tenants Dont put words in my mouth if you are capable in that small brain of yours I will reiterate once more Now put your ears on ok never did I say investors should not profit or perform accordingly Now about greed in the real estate community of investing it does exist take your head out of the sand I will repeat myself Because I do not cater to ignorant people such as you seem to be I have met good people who are investors I have met greedy selfish people who are investors as well So don't assume as you have about my capabilities  Heres my question why haven't you reached out to provide solutions All you do it seems is point that proverbial finger at others and their opinions suggestions I hope you don't respond I don't communicate well with ignorance My words are ended D

@Sandy S Harris,Yes, I was out of the deal with no equitable interest in the property.

Sandy, what if you were to do the occasional flip with these funds?

Sandy, you can't borrow from an IRA, I'm guessing you meant to say that you are taking a distribution?

Do I need to go ahead and soil test and pull the permit and get approved for a building or does my potential buyer/developer do all that before the sale?

Lead based paint exposure (and lead in the water and soil) is always a valid complaint, regardless of how many times it's been painted over, that's why there are lead disclosures in CA.

I live in Sandy.

I know of people who were impacted by Irene one year and Sandy the next.  

I have lived through Hurricane Sandy both as a resident and as a landlord.  

Since you are somewhat familiar with my Sandy rehab, let me tell you exactly what I will have to do there that requires a permit.
