@Maria Jeanette Using a self-directed IRA (SDIRA) for real estate investment offers control over asset selection and tax advantages, such as tax-deferred growth (Traditional IRA) or tax-free growth (Roth IRA).

If you're happy with getting a note on ANY house in FL you might have more luck, but then you don't have as much control over the condition of the property or its location if those are important factors to you.

I keep thinking about tools that can help me reduce risk by catching errors or red flags in seller disclosures and inspection docs, but that's likely because I've had a bad experiences with both.A simple and obvious example is a seller checking "No" for pests section, such as Scorpions and Snakes in Arizona when the property is in the desert, so obviously, there will be snakes and scorpions. 

 :)To anyone reading this: if you happen to think using other people's money means you don't need any of your own, raising outside money may help you recover your expenses, but you still have MAJOR out of pocket expenses, typically, due before you can raise any money:Earnest deposit: most people raise after you get control of a deal.  

That’s a problem if trying to enforce a security position as a lender or Noteholder.You may gain control but economics will dictate structuring a deal to pay the problem spouse something as a “lovely parting gift.” 

Self-funding gives you full control, no debt, and better cash flow, but it ties up a lot of your cash.

Although RTR does not have control over management issues, it is clear that Zach cares about his clients and will do what he can to help.

It’s always an honor to contribute to such an incredible platform that empowers investors to build wealth and take control of their financial futures. 

:)  We love defaulted note investing - you own nothing but are in control and can exit through the property or the borrower. if you do take a property back you can sell it outright, seller finance it, rent it or BRRR it.

Hoarding becomes a violation when it presents a fire hazard or other safety issue, attracts pests, or potentially damages the property.
