Here's a breakdown:Project Details:Property Cost: $50KRenovation Costs: $30KResale Price: $100KProfit: $20K ($100K – $50K – $30K)For instance, if your regular income is $50K, and you add the $20K from the house flipping, your total income becomes $70K.

The SDIRA can own an LLC that you're the manager of giving you checkbook control allowing you to invest in as quickly as you can write a check or do a wire transfer.   

We each put in 50K and deposited into our LLC's checking account.

You can also check meetup.com or search facebook for real estate investment groups, clubs, or meetings in your area.
