I'm simplifying it but if this might work for you I would talk to your IRA administrator.

Not sure how CA works but keep in mind that in NJ if the other heirs don't want to deal,the one heir can step up as Administrator and take over the estate on behalf of the others.

And, I would not use any administrator just because someone has not heard any complaints or assumes others have done research on them.I have a basic SDIRA with IRA Services in San Carlos, CA (no checkbook access) and I use them frequently for real deals I do all the time.

All of this is curious of course because when FHFA first submitted the RFI the administration had already been leaking the idea about the Bulk REO/Rental concept, you can cross reference Google news and search by date to see what I mean by this.

There are 3rd party loan administration companies that will also "professionalize" the loan transaction, and give the lender more peace of mind.Many advise, for the security of the lender, that you execute a couple of additional documents: (1) document permitting the lender to deed the property to themselves if you are more than xx days late on the payment (often 30 days), and (2) an assignment of rents, allowing the lender to intercede with the tenants and begin collecting the rent directly if you are more than xx days late on the payment (again, 30 days is common).

I agree that the value doesn't appear to be there when silver was at $7 just 10 years ago, but it's also difficult to ignore the spending by the administration and the answer to the American and European debt appears to be print more or raise revenue, instead of cutting spending.

I may be wrong here, but perhaps Buffet & company write the donation off at it's "market" value of $100,000 and the administration throws in some other tax breaks to them as well?

., minimizing their administrative time spent.

(Heck, throw in marketing and management courses and you've got the functional parts of most business administration degrees.)It always drives me nuts when I see people spend thousands and thousands on expensive real estate 'courses' or 'mentors' when that money could have been spent a lot more productively learning some basic business principles at a local college.

You CAN be your own administrator.
