I look forward to learning all that I can so that I can begin in my own path of restoring my community.My main goal is to uplift my community and shift the mind set that "It will always be this way."

My main goal is to learn what I can and make connections with experienced real estate investors.  

The main benefit is that you don't have your cash tied up for 6 months waiting for the property to season.

Square footage Lot size These are Mainly preferences I know but they help

One of the awesome benefits of commercial real estate compared to residential.  

I am looking in mainly Texas or Pennsylvania but am willing to consider other locations.

I am mainly familiar with the deal structures in which I am a passive investor and that only covers a small percentage of the possible structures.#2 - You pay $50k as the sponsor, you raise $950k from private investors and you finance $4 million with the bank...$5 million total purchase price. 

Back when my main gig was construction, I did a lot of Tenant Improvement (TI) work in structures like these. 

Not onky that but you can hold on to the cash flow properties till they are paid fully for your retirement so its a short term and long term benefit for both of you guys!

You should still very much reap the benefits of leverage with your IRA, but would want to work with your CPA to run the numbers and evaluate the impact of this taxation on your returns.
