When and IRA engages in a trade or business on a regular or repeated basis, it is taxed at trust tax rates on Unrelated Business Taxable Income (UBTI).

The property is located in MA and I don't think there's any state moratorium in effect right now.

This way we're effectively each covering 50% of the cost of his timeOption 3:  the uneven splitWe can figure out another split of ownership that makes sense for both of us to be happy despite the fact that we'll contribute equal capital to our deals.

In my opinion, it is the best strategy to utilize to get into real estate in a fairly cost effective manner.

@Brian Garlington I just reviewed a lease with the clause permitted reasons for eviction “such as non-payment of rent, breach of lease, damaging premises, drug or other illegal activity, disorderly conduct, rehabilitation of unit, landlord or relative occupancy.”In speaking with an agent he too was under the impression a buyer (landlord) could move into the unit they were purchasing, so I’m wondering if there were 4 owners could they all 4 move into a 4-plex and effectively require the tenants (on month to month leases) to move out?

If this hasn't been structured properly, you will end up with an adverse tax effect. 

Studding is very important in order to effectively get the job done.

- In addition to cold calling and mailing directly to owners, I have also engaged with parking operators at the corporate and regional director level in order to generate leads.

We got engaged and bought our home this year, and we plan on expanding our rental home portfolio within the next 12 months as well.

It's done effectively with cash.
