Sounds like a great opportunity.

Opportunities lie where most people could not see. 

The opportunities will be found in up and coming neighborhoods, probably around the Fifth Ward on the near southwest side, and maybe other areas south of the city's downtown.

I've had a few sellers or agents make a stink but my response is usually, I have the cash to close, but if I have the ability to push through a loan and keep my cash in hand, why wouldn't I take that opportunity? 

I was given the opportunity to teach boxing lessons (volunteer work) a town over from me, once a week.

I have the opportunity to acquire a 2nd note which is non performing with the intent of foreclosing and hopefully acquiring the first mortgage to do so. 

I have an opportunity to provide a loan around 12k with an interest rate of 30%.

Looking at some properties in KC and have found some interesting opportunities in the 66104 zip code.

I very much appreciate the opportunity I've been given to serve. 

Generally I would recommend to stay away from such transaction, there are many investment opportunities available for your IRA to invest on it's own, that is what you should consider.
