OO loan seems like real long shot. 

Real estate is always evolving, and what works in one market might not work in another.

Also be aware of Unrelated Business Income Tax (or UBIT) on leveraged real estate inside of an IRA.Or better yet, since you are self-employed - go with a truly self-directed Solo 401k plan, which would be a much better option and will help you avoid the UBIT on this investment.

I've been learning real-estate for over a year.

I believe that strong relationships are the foundation of success, and I’m always excited to network, collaborate, and grow within the Orlando real estate community.  

Your journey in real estate is inspiring, and it’s amazing how you’ve built on your mom’s legacy.

As I see it, the only ways that real estate pays you well in the first 3-5 years is low to no leverage or a strategy that requires more work (short term rental, mid term rental, rent by the room, etc.).  

Investors like me are left sifting through overpriced junk instead of finding real opportunities.
