Remember, this is really PERSONAL debt as you didn't use the HELOC for investing.

I can't remember how many times I was "cooled off" and I was honestly surprised when they asked me to be a Mod.

I remember when my buddy Mike went through a rough patch..divorce, bad investments, you name it.

As a result, I wouldn’t need to show material participation for each property individually, and I could potentially use the losses from these deals to offset other income.Even though I qualify as a real estate professional, it’s important to remember that active participation is still required to use those losses against W-2 income.

While that's true, what I truly remember is the people we were able to help.

I don't know that you need 10, but I can share the first one or two that WILL work for you, if you apply yourself:The first thing to remember is that most groups and courses, who want to know how thick you wallet is, are not what you are looking for. 

Just remember to notify the title company of the change in purchaser. 

Remember that you would not be investing personally but rather your IRA, which is a separate legal entity.

Remember, it doesn't need to be Grant Cardone!
