It's all documented via text and email, as well as video (I used a body cam when interacting with tenants, with their permission when legally required).

Another piece is basic human emotion and body language.  

I'd make it as clean as possible and put any bodies where they can't be seen.Appraisers go thru this "see how great my property is" about 80% of the time on visits, so are used to it.

The condo is literally across the street from Fort Lewis college (liberal arts college with student body of 4,000).

The body is mostly water and it depends on electrical impulses for it to function (water and electric)?

I'm sure every body thought Trump was silly before he was accomplished.

Now they are turning down work cause there are just not enough bodies to man them!

Risk/reward is a key component to evaluate, and I would put regulatory complexities on the risk side of the equation.Better approaches more suited to an IRA would be to have the IRA be a private lender and loan money to other unrelated flippers, or to buy a property with IRA funds and a mortgage that would be held long term for rental income.Keep researching and get on the phone with a few professionals in the field. 

No one even claimed the body. 

There is no professional body otherwise so where are you drawing the line?
