Despite the inability to claim depreciation or avoid certain taxes, many investors appreciate the control an SDIRA offers, allowing them to invest directly in real estate and other alternative assets they are passionate about.I do not recommend buying tax-efficient assets like RE in the already tax-efficient IRAs.

I have a good FT job in education administration, but I want to retire asap, focusing on RE (so, not really retiring, but you get the idea).

But I agree with you these guys pass up a ton of listing opportunities and given the amount of money they spend thats just wasting marketing dollars in my mind.. the laws are changing on wholesale assignment business model.. like most things RE its always changing and evolving. 

Look at this post re: TurboTax specialists  :)https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/1226092-remin... 

I will re-strategize!

You will get way better loan terms than you would on a Cash out Refi as a partnership entity with no RE experience.This is all very theoretical, can you share the actual numbers so we can help you more?

I had some money, but knew little about RE and had no access to sponsors and properties in 2010 when I met Brad Sumrok at Lifestyles.

Good luck on your RE journey in Costa Rica / in general!

We were able to review earlier emails in the threads, found this information and re-sent them to Taylor.

@Bruce Woodruff hi, the business in not RE.
