Main questions should ask about the seller's:- Reasons/Motivations for wanting to sell- Desired timeline to close- Plan's after selling (relocation, reinvesting proceeds, 1031 exchange, etc)- Back-up plan in case they are unable to sell within the desired timeline- Reasons for not already selling to/with a investor or RealtorAdditional questions will depend on the type of seller lead i.e. pre-foreclosure, probate, fsbo, absentee owner, etc.Here is an example of a youtube search you can use to begin finding call recordings.There are 1,000s and you'll find that the best/most effective ones don't even sound like sales calls.

@Maria JeanetteHere are some of the downsides of putting real estate into a self directed IRA or 401k.No tax deductions: You can’t claim deductions for property taxes, mortgage interest, depreciation, repairs, improvements and other property-related expenses.Property expenses: All expenses, repairs, and maintenance costs must be paid with IRA or 401k funds.

I’d love to get feedback from anyone who has been through a similar process, as I’ve received some conflicting information.Here’s the situation:- My lender mentioned that even though my loan-to-value (LTV) ratio is below 80% due to the renovations (currently at 73%), I can’t request PMI termination based on the property improvements alone, since the renovations were part of the initial HomeStyle loan.

I have a free training on my YouTube channel that teaches you how to create a comp set and review the competition in your market so that you can make an intelligent decision on whether or not to move forward.

My credit is poor right now but can easily be improved as my income is much better lately. 

I hope you find some useful information and best of luck in improving your personal finances and starting your investing career. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/25/topics/589...
