If for whatever reason UBIT is paid directly by the taxpayer, the amount paid is considered a contribution to the IRA.Follow up question: Is there any difference in how the UDFI will apply for these: 1) SD IRA 2) SEP-IRA 3) Solo 401K 4) SD IRA (operated as an LLC) so this one is confusing...

I look forward to learning and networking with the folks here on the course of my journey.It seems that the "you make your money on the way in" is indeed the most contributing factor to success so i will continue to be patient and learn, building a better financial base, as well as establishing a lender relationship, so i can be ready to execute quickly when the deal i need arrives.
