I will add that investing in a real estate syndication where you have Unrelated Business Income Tax (UBIT), if you are going to use a self-directed IRA, you might be better off using a Roth IRA, instead of Traditional IRA, due to the tax-free compounding growth of Roth.

This approach can help you secure funding more easily without the need for traditional income documentation.

Hey Bryan, If you are in search of a non traditional business purpose loan there are DSCR based 2nd Mortgages (Must be an investment property) Or Hard Money 2nds on Primary Residence (Funds must be used for business purpose).

Not sure if I should structure as a traditional home sale + a separate business package including all accessory structures, furniture, biz ops, STR license, etc.Maybe as an add on if someone wants to use it as a hostel business as well but still open to a traditional buyer purchase separately. 

Does not work as ideal brrrr even if numbers play out for traditional ideal BRRRR as there is no way to extract all cash invested.  

One big takeaway is that MTRs function more like short-term rentals (STRs) than traditional long-term rentals.

I look at it through the lens of: 1) If I contribute to a pre-tax account like a pre-tax 401k, Traditional IRA, SEP IRA, I get a tax deduction, but now I'm in a partnership with the IRS, but I don't know what I will have to pay them later on in life when I start pulling money out (that is because when you distribute you pay taxes based on your effective tax rate at that time, which can be unknown). 2) With Roth accounts, (Roth IRA/Solo 401k(k) with Roth component), I can get the taxes out of the way on the seed, so I don't have to pay on the crop. 

Most brokerages across the country do not allow wholesaling or make you do it in a way that won't make it work the traditional way.The real question is why are you getting your license if you want to wholesale?

For your first question about doing a "subject to" on a hard money loan, it’s possible, but it’s not as common since hard money lenders typically have stricter terms and might not allow a loan to be assumed like a traditional mortgage. 

They may have more flexible terms compared to traditional banks.Just be sure to check the interest rates and repayment terms since borrowing against your policy can reduce the death benefit if not paid back in time.
