This is one of my favorite features of Bigger Pockets especially for asking specific questions.

The only security for the loan is the property that was acquired.As far as not wanting to pay fees to the company handling the IRA for transactions, it sounds like you are looking for a feature called checkbook control.

That will drive your rent net of economic vacancy and thus will be the dominant factor in your whole financial model.

It has some interesting features in that in the past it appears to have been owned by a contractor - it has a four-wide driveway suitable for many large vehicles - 200 amp service - two outbuildings (including a large workshop with windows and a loft) - a large add-on family room to the original house - and a wrap around back porch - a large single bathroom with a jetted tub and a tile patio area at the side of the house.  

Buyers aren't stupid and neither are sellers.The best thing you could do, Raymond, is find the seasoned wholesaler who has been dominant in your market. 

Still learning about all the features, but it looks like the membership was a great investment.  

(FWIW, if you have the resources, some of the best deals that I've seen over the years have been upscale fixers, which often just need a lot of cosmetics and feature motivated sellers (often heirs) who can afford to leave some money on the table to quickly get rid of a headache.
