Overall, the supply-demand fundamentals in most markets are still favorable.

The market here is very favorable for both investment and owner occupant properties. 

@Juvencio Garcia Do yourself a favor and vet the lender thoroughly.

This is all so easy, you just need to be "honest" (I believe that's the favored term).You only need a cheesy sign or some sort of ma-and-pa letter targeted those that are not real knowledgable and vulnerable to accepting offers at 20% below FMV.Plus even though you're arranging the sale of real estate in expectation of a fee, you don't need no stinkin' RE license!!!!

Just don't go there.In general, this is not a favorable strategy or an appropriate use of IRA funds.

Maybe the HML is doing you a favor.  

The percentage was 55/45 in favor of renters.

Last issue with this is, these are the same "investors that when they work out a deal it's always one sided in their favor.

Since the type of property I favored was not available , David took the time to explain the different options.

A landlord makes an innocent mistake and the court always favors the tenant and frequently throws a case out leaving the landlord to re-start the entire eviction process.It is an expectation that a very high percent of non-paying tenants will file bankruptcy, stay several more months while landlords are evicting them and the courts cannot force tenants to pay.
