Honestly, most real estate gurus are the equivalent of the modern day snake oil salesman.

If so, I would assume that the % of SDIRA used would be equivalent % to how much would be paid back to the SDIRA.

I'm surprised that 1 through 5 and 7 aren't in the P&S, I've seen those clauses, or ones worded similarly (or equivalent language) in the contracts I've signed as a buyer and seller.As a seller, I'd reject 6 because it requires me to speculate and opens me up to liability.

That said, it does not yet sync with my bank, so I maintain separate accounting in Quicken, which serves as the basis for our tax reporting and for balancing our checkbook, so I’m spending extra time (that I don’t have) maintaining much of the same info in two databases.For lost rent due to vacancy and non-payment, we assumed that we’d have the equivalent of 1 unit continuously empty, and despite all the renovations, we only slightly exceeded that over the first year.

It is almost equivalent to owning the land (almost).You acknowledged the OP's right to the driveway in your post, but then seem to take it away. 

The prices for some of the homes out of states are equivalent to a very expensive car.

I work in the financial markets full-time, and I see it as equivalent to a callable bond - a bond that the borrower has the right to retire at any time.

The rental market is tight, so finding properties with below market rent is often the equivalent of finding a deal. 

If you're getting $100k for a free-n-clear property that had been cashflowing at $800/m (equivalent to 10%/y), it'd be time to sell according to you, right?

So, even though I'm allowed to contribute cash, I would not be allowed to contribute the equivalent of value in property?
