I do private lending in a self directed IRA with Equity Trust Company as my custodian.

This idea dc is a company town isn’t really true & the company isn’t going out of business, 20% of the workforce is federal government, if they cut 25% of the federal workforce it would be 5% of the region and of course the vast majority are of these people would get jobs in the private sector, not to mention the government will probably have to rely more heavily on government contractors to fill gaps where the cut.

If you choose to do the lien, have an attorney or title company draw it up for you.

Hi @Rosendo Romero, my family and I own investment properties in palm beach county and we also own and operate a property management company.

@Rami Refaeli I am on the Fort Worth side of the metroplex but the company I work for is based in North Dallas.

unfortunately, the way their deal was structured Nickerson was on;y being paid for his name and for his teaching, the company was actually owned by Lowery, financially backed by the early version of the Provo Utah real estate marketing company.  

Right after I closed on that one the insurance company demanded I make a couple thousand dollars of repairs.

How do I go about finding the best banks or companies to get pre-approvals and is it worthwhile to get multiple?
