Hey Jose, You may feel free to shop direct or with a broker.

He  tried to make people believe he was this huge real estate auction company and hiring all these "National Directors" when all they were was simple agents in their respective locations.

(The term meetup has become generic to mean a meeting of like minded people, but it seemed to come into common usage with the increased popularity of the website Meetup.com)There are non-profit REIAs with Boards of Directors. 

Some HOA communities have limited the number of units allowed and have applied a rental cap in order to maintain compliancy with FHA lending guidelines, so definitely check this outAlso, confirm the overall financial health of the HOA and even consider serving on the Board of Directors if your time allows. 

As long as the employee is salaried and not being paid on a commission basis they can do so at an officers or directors direction. 

@Joe TomkoActually, I said nothing of the sort, and what you propose would also be a prohibited transaction.IRS rules prohibit any direct or indirect transactions or benefit between an IRA and a disqualified party. 

An LLC started a real estate project, Steve, Kevin, and John were directors.

You could set up a Delaware or Navada c-Corp, and hire someone to be nominee director to sign and be public documents.  

I am the Executive Director of REAPS and if you would like to come check out a meeting at anytime just use promo code 'bigger' at checkout to attend one meeting as my guest.

I'm optimistic that the Trust will not be considered a disqualified person based on the IRS definition... (5) any direct or indirect owner of 50% or more of any of the following:the combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote, or the total value of shares of all classes of stock of a corporation that is an employer or employee organization described in (3) or (4);the capital interest or profits interest of a partnership that is an employer or employee organization described in (3) or (4); orthe beneficial interest of a trust or unincorporated enterprise that is an employer or an employee organization described in (3) or (4); The 3rd bullet references a Trust and it mentions the beneficial interest and not the trustees.
