I’ve made more money on the houses I lived in then on any pure investment property but that’s time playing a bigger part more then anything else even though I always bought the ugliest house in the nicest neighborhood.Think of this; once you are done, are you willing to pack up and uproot your kids to the next property?

Also assuming the property you are buying will be a pure investment, and not a place you intend to live.Fannie Mae actually follows the "Rich Dad Poor Dad" book pretty closely, FYI.

However, don't confuse this with common practice or pure coincidence. 

So the B of A is pure speculation (and hope) on my part at this point regarding my situation with the changed locks. 

If you are going to use commercial loans/portfolio loans in the future, opening checking/savings accounts go a long way to establish trust and help out that bank also.If purely savings account, I like ones with higher than 1% APR on them to just sit there.

The better option would be to have a deed of trust as security for a note, secured by a specific property being invested into.In the IRA LLC model, all of your interactions are with the LLC, not the underlying IRA that owns the LLC.If the client is purely receiving interest on a note, this is deemed passive and not subject to taxes such as UBIT. 

Through all the research I've done, I don't think it would be wise to invest purely on an appreciation play.

Lease options are purely speculative.

It's purely by accident but help me to learn about how the real estate transaction works.

I'd almost think it's worth than pure renting, but some of that will depend on who can initiate a sale of the property.
