Ideally you use hardmoney for purchase + rehab funds, and force appreciation of the property.

This is why I always have inspections happen right after contract, and ideally before BPO.

:) It will all be dependent upon what you can qualify a loan for and what you can afford, however a multi-family may be an ideal option if they are available for reasonable prices in your market.

I know it's not ideal but I don't want to sit on my hands for another year and miss something just because I didn't ask the questions......   

I have my SDIRA set up and funded Now i m looking for any & all advice about the buying process / liability issues / etc I have found a good deal on a duplex & i have enough funds in the account to buy it outright however ideally i would like to not be “cash poor” for lack of better word within this account. ( Ex: If i find a 200k property for 100k and it cash flows, and i have 100k in the IRA, i would like to cash flow it and sit on it for long term gains ) - is financing within an IRA allowable?

Getting my feet wet ... by submitting an Offer -- TOMORROW MORNING, ideally (and it's midnight already!

Still looking for that ideal hard money connection. 

You'll need info like phone #'s, SS# (ideally), etc.

PLUS a fully fin basement w/separate front entrance, BR & 2nd kitchen--ideal for in-law suite or rental.

Cloud, MNHouston, TXAnyone would mind sharing an insights which city/area would be most ideal?
