A spouse  wants $50,000 of the $140,000 value of a real estate property being held in their spouse's SDIRA in Florida- an equitable split property state when it comes to divorce.

I am in University and have my Real Estate License and am planning to work part-time as an Agent once I pass my exam to make connections and to keep learning about my San Jose/Santa Clara Market (plus hopefully increase my income).I am saving all I make at my current job and am trying to understand at what point I can start looking to buy my first Property. 

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

When helping my clients with their tax returns and bookkeeping, especially when they have real estate properties, we usually obtain the land value directly from the county assessor’s website.

@Jeffery Goode Am I allowed to do this as a non licensed agent?

Trying to "time" the real estate market is like trying to time the stock market.

DSCR loans, while still a relatively new product, continue to expand in use and popularity for investors looking to achieve financial freedom through real estate.

@Mirlyne AndreRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Also be aware of Unrelated Business Income Tax (or UBIT) on leveraged real estate inside of an IRA.Or better yet, since you are self-employed - go with a truly self-directed Solo 401k plan, which would be a much better option and will help you avoid the UBIT on this investment. 

Good morning,Investing in real estate most recently has really caught my attention… as many others’ on here I am sure.
