My name is Chad Kagen and I am beginning on the genuine state putting venture here in atlanta, GA.

In other words, you can't "control" the investment if you're in partnership with your IRA?

I suspect it will go one of two ways.1. they ( buyer ) is dragging feet and money shows up so that title company can then record and dispurse and this is Moot.2. they never send money and you have a sale fail and you move on.. and you learned to never let someone have keys and control of rent prior to money in your jeans.

Richmond appears to be overvalued and has also recently enacted strict rent control and eviction policies.

Therefore, this is before your C end buyer even gets involved with you, the B investor.To answer your second question, you have to sign a contract with A seller and control the transaction so that C buyer cannot "steal" the property.  

Another idea is to call the asset manager that controlled the deal.  

I'm looking for more advice on how I can invest the money wisely and possibly even new ventures/possible partnerships.

I also tend to think most JV's are not proper joint ventures and are more like two folks, albeit entities or people, trying to work on something with a very loose document tying them together.  

I then realised, it was time to start minding my own business, indeed.When it comes to real estate, I am a newbie, I know most of the basics and still learn to become confident.I am serious about investing in real estate as I feel this is something I will enjoy doing like a hobby while making my way to financial freedom and most importantly having control over my life.I am planning to make my first wholesale investment by the end of this year [starting with low money].

@Jim Hart If you haven't worked a deal like this before, it will be pretty chsllenging to figure out the moving parts and how to control from beginning to end.This is why I don't teach pre-probate transactions to others.
