I tend to agree with this statement and have been successful in helping companies identify their profit producing activities and then create systems and processes to make those easier. 

I not only like to be more active in the investing, but also I figured that I probably know a thing or two (although not much) more than someone has never bought an investment property. 

I just received an email that I was granted another award, and I guess it shows up on my profile, but does it have any value besides knowing that someone is an active member of BP?

I totally agree with your assessment.

Hello I am an active reader but this is my first post.

Property type is rare to begin with, and finding one at a wholesale price will be even more rare.I would suggest starting the search now and be willing to look at stuff that's active on the market.

Easier to shoot for in active investing (e.g. flipping) though that comes with risk and is more intensive. 

Questions:1) I presume that I cannot retro-actively put the house I’ve already purchased into a SDIRA.

Here’s the stats - -$500 to activate line (credited back if deal closes in 90 days) 
- 3.5 % origination fees 
- Close to 10% rate 
- Each project is reviewed/underwritten by FoA, which could take up to 30 days 
- Up to 90% acquisition & rehab, I believe 
- Standard draw rules on rehab side - Line is up to 5x of assets, equity in home, 401k, etc- Line has to reset to zero once per year
