i want to buy a retirement home with self directed ira funds. how can i do this without taking the money out and paying tax on the withdrawal amount?

I have equity in my primary residence and have been studying up on biggerpockets.I am working on 2 BRRRRs at the moment.I know everyone approaches this differently.... but how would YOU achieve financial freedom if you were to start over again with a 250k loan?

I made the mistake of buying a personal residence last year, which I believe is delaying my ability to get into real estate investing as quickly as I would like to.

@Matthew A Brady If your father is going to sleep there the majority of the week, I suspect it can be argued that the property will be his primary residence allowing him to qualify for a Fannie Mae loan with only 3% to 5% down.

Hi All,I am a new investor residing in the Doylestown, PA area, and would like to know if there are any REI meetups in the area?

Mine are definitely not designated as my primary residence, but I didn't know there was a separate rental category.

One example would be to setup an LLC in the US which is owned by an entity in the country of residence. 

I wonder if that would hold true for properties that aren't the primary residence (which I believe has more protection during bankruptcy?).

, but if residents in that area are already paying those "expensive" prices, should you place just below to grab attention, or stay within that prices ball park for your property? 

Kwikset smartkey is a crappy lock with poor security that I would never have on my personal residence, but for a rental they make sense.
