Hello,I've been looking for creative methods to utilize the funds in my Self directed IRA to purchase Real Estate.

It just needs to be "made safe" using the right method for that component.

My brother and I are looking into buying a home using the BRRRR idea.

Is there any advice or method that can be given to make me become a better student to the game of real estate before I attend school?

So working through the best method for my situation.  

The analysis is beyond the scope of this post, but if you email or contact me directly I can do one for you and let you know if it works.The other widely used method to determine if your paying too much or not is to use the comparable approach and find the average price per unit value for that market and submarket.

My LOIs usually have 3 methods of buying, with escalating price points that I would be willing to do. 

Another notable point is that the owner now owns the deed free and clear so there is no outstanding mortgage obligation to her.The last thing is that the building had been on the market for over a year and was originally listed for 149K and she has been methodically reducing the list price by 10K every 3 months.  

Recently looked into current market value ($252-$268) and am considering a downsize into an investment property (thinking BRRRR after living in it a year) with my wife and 2 kids but wanted to get some opinions on what I consider my options to be with regard to selling current home.
