With 2 Trillion dollars locked up in traditional IRAs imagine if that was unleashed in self directed IRAs that can hold real estate!

I only know she bought in 2001 and this has traditionally been a low income area. 

One good thing, however, is that 401k funds that are rolled over to Traditional IRAs or converted to Roth IRAs, retain their unlimited bankruptcy exemption. 

Forgive me for the long post and perhaps a few creative terms as accounting is not my forte.To finance my first property, I put 20% down on a traditional 30-year mortgage from a local credit union.

Are you considering traditional buy-and-holds only or are you considering Airbnb as well?

To be clear, on traditional seller financing, the Buyer owns the home, as title will pass to the buyer, with the seller simply holding a mortgage(just like a bank holds when they finance a house).  

If you sub your private money guy (or gal) with a traditional lender (assuming you're doing a buy & hold) what are your profits going to be then?

So, if I understand this correctly, when you filled out the form (like http://www.trustetc.com/applications/App_trad-roth.pdf), you checked the "Traditional" box under the Account Type You Are Applying For, and they switched it to a Roth anyway?

(Church construction)If so, are the rates different than traditional private money lenders?
