Lucas, I am investing with my IRA so I will have to use a property manager anyway.

They always ask for something (however small) and it can feel like an 11th hour scramble to find that 2015 Roth IRA statement

As far as the money to pay for the construction, together they have roughly a million dollars in 401k/IRA (Note: My dad will be 59 1/2 in February and my mom in November).

We buy first position npls and rpls and I've also bought them in my personal self-directed Ira portfolio.

I invest into the stock market via my 401k and IRAs.

Looking to establish long relationship and some who can  help me  tax plan.I would prefer the own real estate out of state and can handle IRA llc questions.

For triplex or a quad, you need reserves that are equal to 6 times the monthly payment.Again not 100% srue with a VA loan, but a lot of lenders will let you use an IRA or 401k balance as reserves.

The type of account is called a self-directed IRA.

(My state's difficult foreclosure laws make our rates about half % higher than most.)I know somebody will tell me to invest in stocks, and I have some in IRAs and 401(k)s. 

Teach them how to utilize their Self-Directed IRA account.You could also try attending Self-Directed IRA events to meet investors looking to lend capital.
