Can you roll your 401k into a self directed IRA tax/penalty free?

The seller serves as the lender under a seller financing agreement, and you send payments to them directly.

@Don Konipol  Of course one of the pre requisites  for many of these guys is to claim they were broke and living in their parents garage and now look at me with this system I created  ::)  I saw it in the foreclosure rescue direct mails a lot too.. went something like this..

I just checked the forms the city had me sign for my plans, it just says "certain restrictions" apply if I had had a tenant in the last 3 years.

Looks like possibilities with direct mail and postcards from what I saw online. 

If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.Here’s our OPINION for the Metro Detroit market (always verify each area for yourself!)

It's important to understand the difference, and I'd recommend sticking with the REIT with depreciation advantages.The Tax Cut and Jobs Act (TCJA) includes a 199A deduction and applies to certain income from pass-through entities (including REIT dividends) and allows individuals to take the 20% deduction against REIT dividend distributions that yields an effective tax rate of 29.6% or 37% (80% for upper bracket filers).

@Ardian SelimiYou said Alaska high cost of labor makes it hard to pencil out on existing homes but I think that would apply to the new builds also.For personal residences, I have rehabbed a house hack and buy two homes and the builds came out unpredictable even though the first home’s national production builder and the second home’s local custom builder both had plenty of experience with cost and labor estimates.For my RE investments, I went with where I could have a a good chance with building a team/knowledge/mentoring/experience.I grew up in a house hack, started with a house hack and then started with student rentals and then out of state airbnbs.

While single-family starts are on the rise, permits are moving in the opposite direction.

Adam,Your asking the right questions, and need to really evaluate where you want to be in terms of direct involvement, and the time and potential liability risk you are willing to accept.
