hello, i'm an architect working in manhattan (originally from ohio) and really want to delve into real estate to attain financial freedom by 40...i like freediving, reading and metaphysical films :-) 

I consult regularly with my clients on the use of the 401K and IRA funds in real estate.

And a lot of these brokers call them on a fairly regular basis asking if they are thinking of selling.  

There are advantages and disadvantages to both approaches.Equity participation in a flip transaction is considered a trade or business activity, and if your plan will conduct such operations on a regular or repeated basis, you will be creating unrelated business taxable income (UBTI).  

I hope business sky rockets for you and you attain your goals sir. 

Marc M.This type of activity would be fine structurally, but would expose your SDIRA to UBIT if you conduct such activities on a regular or repeated basis.  

Once you become a licensed agent, you will want to get with a good real estate Broker that has regular class sessions chocked full of information for new agents.

@Lekan Nicholson I would have to assume a government office keeps regular business hours!

I guess going this route depends on how regularly this occurs.

Hey - I am an licensed agent in Georgia and can help you find the right person to help list and sell this as a regular listing.
