@Scott BlevinsI have a few section 8 houses.

You may choose to invest in real estate directly by acquiring a property, or passively by investing through a syndication (or by being a lender to someone else.  2) pencil out the numbers to see if the math is in your favor for a Roth Conversion and real estate investment with a SDIRA.

You tried getting a roofing job from Bob Prisco aka Bob Stevens, or you tried getting a roofing job from Elliott Taylor?

A lot of my clients on the listing side will check mark they are willing to pay a buyers agent but not disclose the amount.

The reality of real estate investing is that you only need two tools.  1- a Blue Pen2- a Note Pad.  

You'd analyze it as a "cash purchase" and add a special expense category for your principal & interest payment.  

A second option is getting a DSCR loan.Lastly, knowingly leaving deductions off of your tax return to qualify for a loan is mortgage fraud. 

@Elliot Angus To structure this deal, consult a Qualified Intermediary (QI) for 1031 compliance, a real estate attorney for seller-finance terms, and a CPA to ensure tax deferral.
