@Brian Eastman, here's the language from 4975(c)(1):"(D) transfer to, or use by or for the benefit of, a disqualified person of the income or assets of a plan;(E) act by a disqualified person who is a fiduciary whereby he deals with the income or assets of a plan in his own interest or for his own account; or(F) receipt of any consideration for his own personal account by any disqualified person who is a fiduciary from any party dealing with the plan in connection with a transaction involving the income or assets of the plan."

Most do this for 'asset protection' but forget to inform/ask their title co and insurance carrier of the beneficiary/owner change. 

(b) Required Documentation The Mortgagee must obtain a copy of the Borrower’s military orders evidencing the Borrower’s Active Duty status and that the duty station is more than 100 miles from the subject Property.

I want to make sure im covering all options and doing what I can to be an asset to people.

Has anyone had any luck obtaining a property via auction (particularly auction.com) using a hard money lender? 

I concur, depends on the market and asset class.

. , People separate Personal Asset from a business asset so that business liability will not touch personal asset( personal residence). 

If you find someone local in the Charlotte area you might be able to work a deal where you lend an experienced investor some money, make some interest, but also have them mentor you in the process they follow from start to finish in using your money to acquire an income producing asset. 

If we are in danger of not having enough cash to cover our expenses, then we as owners add more of our own funds to the business and increase our equity, or obtain a loan to cover the need.We currently receive our rents through regular post, mailed to our local USPS office (P.O.Box).
