Is it the stationary side or the sliding/moving side? 

Many of the slides he used, in my opinion would be great presentation tools for educating IRA holders on the advantages of using SDIRAs for real estate investing.I would say the Rule of 72 was one of my favorite take-away but when he started talking about the perks of being a BP Pro member and that there are IRA custodian firms ready do provide discount services at a discount made my decision to go Pro even sweeter.Matt's advise on finding, approaching, educating and presenting deals to IRA prospects was, in my estimation, priceless.

Middle scenario, I use a turnkey company to make my first long-distance investment, learn, realize I can do this on my own with better margins and make subsequent deals on my own.
