I will PM you info

The  hallmark of scammers is advance fees, but I'd also be worried about giving them your personal info and SS#.As a physician, I'd bet you can get a decent line/loan from any number of reputable lenders.

I have not done a lot of research on laws governing self-directed IRA business transactions, but with self-directed 401ks, the IRS seemed to be pretty good at covering all their bases to make sure that if I am getting that tax benefit, I remain essentially housebroke until kids who are my age are calling me grandpa.

Thank you @Dmitriy Fomichenko -  appreciate for  sharing the info. 

Its great that you guys are starting to invest at such a young age, definitely on the path to success!

I’ve been trying to investigate this, and by no means an expert, found this info online, http://www.escapeartist.com/realestate/investments/1031-exchange-foreign-real-estate-tax-considerations/According to this article:“A like-kind property is any property held for business or investment.

sheesh. tons of valuable info in this post.

But that doesn’t mean the info is outdated.

I only mention this for background info as I have a very deep knowledge base in finance and in all business sizes.

So, gather all that info and see what the math says.
