I called a custodian company in Las Vegas called Preferred Trust and they said it was possible to invest in an online business like an Amazon store or a website with a SDIRA as well as real estate.   

Hi @Kris Mo, I spent about a year educating myself online and through the BP podcast.

Udemy offers an online course on "How to Analyze Real Estate Investments".

I look at over 2,000 properties a month online, then I view maybe 100 a month and make offers on 1 and get 3-5 under contract.

I've been shopping around with mortgage brokers to get the best interest rate and lowest possible downpayment costs.

@Debbie Key I have purchased probably a few dozen properties from online auction sites.

On the 55k needed for purchase and repairs i can lend $46,750 you would need total assets of 16.5k + title - this includes 8250 down, $3500 origination, $995 underwriting, and reserves (we just need to see reserves in your account) Is this more or less what i can expect shopping my deal around?

I’m comfortable being into this property for half or a quarter of buying at retail as I was otherwise shopping for stable rentals.

Please refrain from making recommendation which will result someone's IRA disqualified if you don't understand the rules.Laura, there is a lot of misinformation on this topic online so be careful who you listen to.

Greetings,I first want to stay how much of a good online community this site is honestly!
