So I'd like to try a different learning method. 

@Joseph Theriault From what I understand most states do not specifically prohibit a realtor from acting as a principal in the transaction and then collecting a wholesale fee in one of the usual methods.  

I am the newbie who was asking advise on the methods of financing a 3rd property and I was advised to used the equity from one of my properties to finance the 3rd.

After examining income capitalization methods and formulas, you will learn how rates and multipliers are derived.

Dog bites, vandalism, fire, flood, ACV vs RC pay out methods, frozen pipes, tornado. and anything else that scares you.4) decide on your strategya) Choose type of financing you need and talk to lenders: will you buy all cash then finance yourself out?

@Al Williamson so you have done this before (negative pressure system) and its an effective method?

There is a specific method of calculation, but for simple rough estimates you can assume the net profit of the transaction being taxable at trust tax rates.http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p598.pdf2014 Trust Tax rates followSo, if you were to make about $30K on a transaction, figure you are going to give up about 33% and end up with a $20K return to the IRA.  

Ya I understand that when going through a traditional lending method.

We are buy and hold investors who have turned this crazy "transient lifestyle" into a method for investing.

Please provide your marketing methods.
