I'm looking to become self-employed and would like to start with Joint Venture Wholesaling.

First was that working for someone else who controlled my destiny, my financial future, my career path and all the other restrictions that come with corporate life, is something that I can no longer do for the long-term.

Ability to control our own destiny with our own investments, etc. etc.With a very-well managed buy/hold real-estate strategy, where one buys properties 30% below market and rent for 1.5% of purchase price and doing a cash-out refinance on equity, one can technically do 50% plus to 200% or even more in CoC return.Question is, how many have done this in a self-directed IRA or a in a CESA (coverdell education IRA)?

Remember you don't have to own a property to control it.

Deflation as a result of lower interest rates...Again, just thinking out loud.GeorgeActually lower interest rates cause increased inflation and are the primary tool the fed uses to control rates.  

Remember you don't have to own a property to control it.

I am looking to find the proper resources to answer my questions and guide me in the right direction so that I can begin a venture of investing.  

I am also looking for Joint Venture if anyone has a deal they would like to work with me on in MIAMI or FORT LAUDERDALE.

That way you get a forced equity bump and cash flow in a market within your immediate control, which is really difficult to do out of state.

The end result is you have total (checkbook) control over your IRA.
