@Jack B.Three scenarios: 1) If you reinvest- yes it is traced to that activity and deducted2) if you use it for personal use - non-deductible3) if you hold on to it on your LLC account/ books, but dont reinvest - it can be argued that you are holding on to that money for future repairs and stuff and you refinanced/mortgaged because the interest rate was super low compared to what coming in the future.

It is a suburb in South Jersey along the Delaware River, about 5 miles outside Philadelphia with easy highway access and available public transit to the city.

I might say something like 'I was going through public records, "are you aware your property is scheduled for tax auction next month?"

He's telling you to wait a week because you're going to go look at cars in person, or put your contact info on some website, to "think about it" a week earlier than whatever he tells you (this is 100% true, and as a lender I will not believe you if you tell me otherwise... sorry :P ), and the second you walk onto that car lot a bunch of car salesmen are going to descend upon you, deploying various lines of BS as a pretext to run your credit ("it's a soft pull" or "we just need your SSN to verify you aren't a terrorist, we aren't going to run your credit") and close you on a car that very day, and there is greater than a 0% chance you will believe what they tell you and screw everything up.The rule is that whatever you tell homebuyers not to do, some non-trivial percentage of them are going to push it one notch farther than you tell them.

You have the same $7k/mo you started with for your home purchase.Reserves should be a non-issue assuming you have retirement accounts with that kind of income. 6 months reserves is only $20k, a pittance.

Yet again, non of this is magic or beyond the realm of logical thought, so it's not exactly that Cardone has the magic dust :)Logic is key...

I have an idea but I'm not sure it'll work legally or if I'm missing some information.I work for the government and currently contribute 5% (tax deferred) into my Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) since my agency matches up to 5% (100% of first 3% then 50% of other 2%).

Most of the scenarios proposed to us by potential clients for such joint ventures would likely create a benefit between the parties and not pass scrutiny in an audit.There are many ways to safely and productively grow your IRA investing in non-traditional assets such as real estate in a standalone fashion,  There is no need to take unnecessary and foolish risks with your retirement savings.

I actually think certain types can be decent investments IF you do the homework and read the docs and know what you're buying into.I personally avoid high rises (too much cap ex and high maintenance costs mean poor return), poorly maintained buildings with lots of deferred maintenance, avoid non-warrantable buildings or complexes (hard to finance), I prefer townhouses or 4plex style condos with only one common wall and nobody above or below, that limits neighbor and tenant drama.
