I hear a lot of people talking about advantages of self-directed IRAs and understand the tax advantages are huge--not to mention essentially having a higher return without taking a higher risk.

I personally don't like 30K houses in bad neighborhoods with lower returns.

But of course I am structuring my T1 and T776 in such a way as to minimize taxes.So how would I continue to grow, get good bank rates, and still have a tax return that shows lots of expenses, to keep from paying a lot of income tax?

If it wasnt possible to have more than 100% return on what you put in, then flipping couldnt exist.

The market is starting to return to normal. 

While a seasoned person will want much higher returns for their money.Essentially, if you are already generating 6%-8% returns on your money, you would be looking to do that or better to consider a property worth it.

By modeling each lease, you'll be able to paint a clear picture of the risk/return profile of the investment.

@anish tulia, where do u invest to get those kinds of returns?

What do I give the investors in return?

Account Closed No need to amend your tax returns (contrary to your CPA's opinion).
