This is something my company, Staged Homes Real Estate strives to do.

What happens to any excess contributions to a Self-Directed IRA (SDIRA) once they're distributed (removed) from the IRA?

Just one of the properties has taxes & liens in excess of $22,000.  

Look on Craigslist.A great idea would be to put up a garage if you can and making your tenant pay for the garage and electrical hookup through excessive rent.

Unless you plan to tap the equity at a later stage to buy more property  in that case don't waist your money. 

Your portfolio turns into this machine that has properties in various stages.. 

I typed up a statement of work and percentages I would pay at each stage.

I give 3 or 4 construction draws for 100% of the estimated rehab cost, but I give them in arrears of each stage of the construction, so the borrower must also have 25 - 33% of the cost of the rehab in reserves, as well as reserves to cover carrying costs.

I thought the guy was going to jump off the stage and slap the lady for not following instructions.

The payroll would be safer, the rental arrangement may have issues, if the rents paid from sales commissions became excessive for the value of the space rented, it would become clear that you were circumventing the law!
