If a sellers agent is aware of any material defect, they most certainly DO have to tell a buyer, even if the seller directs them not to disclose. 

We're looking for a CPA in Pasadena who is great with real estate investments - and if they're knowledgable in self directed retirement - even better!

Good Evening.I have a scenario where I have an off market seller for a SFH located in NJ with a purchase price of $32K. I recently finished up a flip project less than a mile away from this property and the seller is ...

Youdo, what you are referring to is known as Self-directed IRA.

Buyers eventually learn who buys a property and Sellers won't trust they are getting the best deal if you conveniently are highest bid.Just being direct: It's not ethical, sustainable, or in best representation of your seller.

I'd check that out for sure, it includes many creative ways to finance deals!

As we know vacancy rate is directly linked to the price (unless the property has a problem or is in the middle of nowhere).

Then you can open self directed IRA / 401K to invest but that will require more down payment and different tax rule.

Yea, dealt directly with the seller.

I'll talk to my QI on Monday but was looking for creative ideas and experiences here.
