Bil Casimir LLC

@Bil Casimir  you can "help" your Mom's IRA BUT you can not accept a dime for doing so, you can not benefit personally in ANY manner, nor can you manage her IRA or IRA/LLC for the reasons @Dmitriy Fomichenko  stated above.In general though, your Mom's SDRA can and may want to setup an IRA/LLC for which she can play with Real Estate and manage her own LLC, on behalf of her SDRA, as needed for asset protection.You mom's SDRA can invest in another LLC so long as there are no disqualified individuals in the same LLC with a controlling interest.With all that said, if YOU want to play in her retirement sandbox...then she may be able to form an S-Corp on her own, do a reverse IRA Rollover to a new 401k sponsored by her S-Corp and then loan another LLC, or fund her an LLC that you and her are part of, or just your LLC, the money for the Real Estate...whichever way you all feel comfortable with.This is very important to get right...so don't hold weight to any forum post or opinion, consult the professionals in your local area for further guidance.

If I buy this property at $75K, put 20% down with a conventional 30 yr, and achieve $1k/mo in rent (which is what comps for this type of property)... the following #s is what I see at a high level:- Principal & Interest: $293/mo-Tax : $150/mo-Insurance (est): $50/moTotal PITI: $493Est Expenses (50% Rule): $500-----------------------------------------Total Expense + PITI = $993/moIncome ($1k rent w/ 9% Vacancy Loss): $910/moCashflow in this scenario is negative.. with 1.3%  rent/price ratio.Even with a sales price of something like $55K (1.8% rent/price ratio), this doesn't cash flow.Now with the same above scenario, using est 30% expense assumption cashflows $180/mo.Am I being too conservative on expenses for a ~1,200 sq ft. brick bungalow ?
