Just wanted to add some caution there because there’s this narrative by the S8 gurus out there that, “these people will live ANYWHERE!

There's other dialers out there that's more custom tailored to organizing calls, lead follow-up plus much more cost effective and honest with a live customer service line.

What is the service life on this piece of equipment.If it has capacitors the service life could be 10 years, or they may have a service life of more than that, but they don't live forever (what about repairs?).

Lenders often require 30-40% down.Cash flow considerations – Since all expenses must be paid from your IRA, maintain liquidity to cover unexpected costs like repairs and vacancies.Rental properties vs. commercial deals – Residential rentals and commercial properties can both be great options, but keep in mind management complexity and income stability.Generally speaking, stay compliant – Avoid prohibited transactions, such as personally guaranteeing a loan, living in or personally managing a property, or transacting with disqualified persons (yourself, spouse, ascendants, or descendants).Diversify your portfolio – While syndications and real estate are great, consider mixing in other alternative assets like private lending, tax liens, or even notes for additional risk management.Work with the right custodian – Make sure your SDIRA custodian is well-versed in alternative investments and has experience handling syndications and non-recourse financing.If you’re looking for specific lenders who offer non-recourse loans, I’d be happy to point you in the right direction.

if you have no money to put down then you're not ready.here's what i would do instead:-save up enough until you have enough money to do a live-in flip-do a live-in fliphope that helps

I'm a landlord/realtor living in SC now.

As Josh mentioned, an LLC owned by a living trust is the typical structure that I'd recommend to most people. 

The reason these hit the market is because developers build them for a living.
