I am very interested in real estate investments, and I’ve just started dipping my toes into information and I’m reading a beginners book on real estate investing.

The latter part of my post was referring to the protection of the account, not the assets through funding but the cash left on-hand.I think because banks are or were typically used for ck, savings, etc, I never looked to them as offering IRA/SDIRA.When I opened my account (2018) it was with specifics in mind and now I am reevaluating.

Since both lots had the same mailing address, this was the address used by the foreclosure attorney when posting the sale.  

I’ve built strong relationships with agents, contractors, and other investors in the area, and one of my contacts informed me that the owner was considering selling but hadn’t listed the property yet.

How is it some many fail in spite of all the information and all the help.

Thank you for the detail information this is very helpful.

Park managers and mobile home dealerships in the local area can also provide you with this kind of information.
