Thank you for your contribution 

I would how ever ask for "Seller contribution" towards closing costs between 3-4% is the norm in most cases. 

I'm planning on having skin in the game and contributing to the down payment, however, leveraging OPM free's up my cash to be able to scale quicker. 

In addition, if you are self-employed with no full-time employees you may wish to consider opening a Solo 401k instead of a self-directed IRA as it has several advantages over an IRA LLC such as much higher contribution limits, direct checkbook control (i.e. no need to have the account at a specialty trust company), ability to take a 401k loan, exclusion from unrelated debt finance income tax with respect to investment in real estate acquired with non-recourse financing, etc.In addition, please note if you purchase debt-financed real estate with your IRA, unrelated debt finance income tax should apply to the income attributable to debt-financed real estate held by your IRA.

thanks for contributing to bigger pockets.. 

@Hira BakhshThe issue with trying to find a service provider on yelp is normally they are generalist CPA's and don't necessarily specialize in one specific industry.There are a couple of CPA's that contribute frequently on the biggerpockets message board. feel free to reach out to a couple to see which would be a good fit for you.

My two sons contributed to the investment.

That's $1,516.2Each investing member will agree to be bought out after 3-5 years at their initial capital contribution plus 4% compound interest annual return.

(Side note: we also contribute the annual max to a 529 for my daughter's college tuition.

In any case I don't see myself having the time or adequate knowledge to do my own property management so I would hire a property manager, if that has a contributing factor in the advice.
