If you worked with a quality firm, they should be able to assist you with questions about the mechanics of moving funds around.The bottom line is that if all accounts are held in the name of the LLC and associated with the LLC tax ID, they are interchangeable - kind of like different drawers in the same desk.If the relationship with Stessa is in the name of the IRA owned LLC, you should be fine. 

It's obvious that more data is needed to truly compare different cities accross the US.

I am confused on how to think about my potential tax liability and I've had different opinions from professionals. 

@Kirk Garner here's our standard copy & paste food for thought:).Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

Only agents (and maybe loan officers) have an actual understanding of the enormous differences in the skill levels of agents in the industry.

@Jagger Boyer why go to Maine when there are great investment opportunities in Grand Rapids and Metro Detroit?

Have read similar issues among all different investors.

Cost seg studies have many different price points, depending on the complexity of the property but I would budget a few thousand dollars for a property the size.Regarding material participation, you should check with your CPA or tax advisor but generally speaking yes that would be enough time.
