I am thinking of doing a self directed IRA to pay for the down payment and doing a non-recourse loan for the remainder.  

.- I have to work under a broker for 2 years before I can apply for my brokers license in state of FL- I have to split my commission profit with broker and all funds/payments must be made out directly to the broker- the percentage commission I negotiate with property owners is my decisionDetermine best path to form Vacation Rental Property Management company being aware of my new status a sales associate- can I start my own business entity to establish and brand my VR management company now, or would/should I just wait the 2 years, get brokers license and then do so.

Eventough I cannot help you direct about MF I wonder if you know Lance Edwards.  

Our ideal scenario would be to find a few people for her to work for.

I don't see any incentive for a realtor to run multiple CMA's for us on a weekly basis, if we are not using them to buy the properties because we are working directly with the homeowners and our cash buyers.I'm sure I'm missing a step or perhaps I misunderstood some aspect of running the numbers.I was under the impression (from our training) that Realtors would have no problem running comparable if we just ask them...but I just don't see why they would spend their time running comparables if they aren't getting compensated.So I'm hoping some investor friendly realtors (preferably in Topeka or Kansas City) can help clarify and answer this question for me.  

Or make payments directly to them?  

I guess it would depend on what you're ultimately trying to achieve - it may be a better choice to go directly for a brokerage license, or to not have any at all. 

I also own a farming business (www.HealthyHenFarms.com) with my wife and 6 kids where we produce and direct market organic, pasture raised chicken to our customers in the Raleigh area.I've dabbled in real estate off and on for 20 years, mainly turning primary residences into rentals as we have moved across the country (NC, CA, GA, VA) over the years. 

This includes direct costs, subcontractors, overhead costs, and other indirect costs.

Could someone point me in the right direction or give me a link to where these government rules are posted?
