@Christian Wathne I agreed with @Dmitriy Fomichenko , with self directed IRA options, you have more freedom on where you want your money invested in, instead have somebody else decide for you, and you also need to check how much they charge in each transaction, some investment firms are shaddy on their fees, plus you can also have others self directed IRA combined to invest in Real Estate or other ventures (*check the rules for what's allowed)  Not only self direct IRA but you may also use HSA (Health Saving Account), I'd suggest give few firms some call and get some details. 

To your comment about state and municipal debt: Are you concerned about the long-term economic health of Chi-town and the surrounding areas?

Sometimes there is a legitimate issue like a health issue.Unless what they say makes total sense to you, I would do whatever possible to get to the owner. 

Maybe your uncle will be great, but in the chance that he isn't, or something happens to his health you will need a backup plan or two.

They are willing to pay 6% total to the broker, and I am looking for a 25% referral fee of gross commission on your half of that. (25% of your 3% or however you split it)PS - I did not think the Marketplace was the proper area for this as I am not promoting a deal I don't think, more like networking? 

We promote the importance of screening tenants and offer many tips as to how best to screen, satisfy and welcome back repeat guests. 

IPX was promoting a marketing timing strategy rather than a buy and hold strategy.

My apologies Tristan, i wrote an extensive response to your question and the moderators removed it because it was considered "self promotion".

It's a sales organization that resells deals put together by promoters who lack reputation, credentials or both to do it on their own.

I got promoted with 37% raised, but still not enough.
