Now, if you explicitly asked him if smoking was dangerous and he told you it was not, then you have a case.

The credit union I work with can only do a 5/1 ARM at a 25 year amortization but they have no seasoning and lend on appraised value vs purchase.   

After some research, it seems like my best option is going to be an ARM. 

Make sure it explicitly explains the process for termination if you are unhappy with their services, but especially if they violate the terms of your agreement.3.

Remember that if you’re asking someone for their money, you better be armed with all the knowledge possible and giving your time and other resources to the deal.

We have 3 members, I would like to buy out my personal membership and become a member using the self-directed ira as the new member...because this wouldn't be an at arms length transaction is there a way (if that's the correct language)?

Some lenders explicitly allow it, some don’t, some won’t notice.

First, let me say I'm not a lawyer, so in your hypothetical example your first call after talking to the tenant should be to an experienced landlord-tenant attorney in Georgia.Here's a great summary of the federal Protecting Tenants at Foreclosure Act of 2009 (PTFA), to which you are referring.That all said, there are a few reasons this worst-case scenario is not worth too much worry:No (sane) landlord is ever going to give an arm's-length tenant a 15-year lease for a fixed rent amount, and if they aren't arm's-length then PTFA doesn't require you to recognize that 15-year term.PTFA has a provision that the rent cannot be substantially less than fair market rent, and odds are good that won't be the case.I've never met a tenant who couldn't be persuaded to leave with financial incentives.
