Lately stocks have not been performing that well.  

Best bet would be to buy cash if you want a condo.  

I bet its been great and the fact that you are being creative to post it is neat.

A good amount of properties are not listed on Realtor.com nor on LoopNet and the best bet to find them is to search the listings on websites of multifamily commercial brokers active in the market(s) you are interested in. 

If I choose some one with little experience I am doing that to groom them to become a top performer.. other wise need lots of expeierence I think the biggest thing I see from those that are not use to HML or trying to get into flipping is1. thinking that HML are only asset based..

You are allowed to act as an agent of your Ira (eg arranging for a contractor to perform work), but doing the work yourself will jeopardize the tax benefits of your ira's portion of the asset.

I bet that confuses a ton of people

Combine that with the rusted out gutters leaking water on there and the California sunshine and I bet you dollars for doughnuts that the siding will be pretty rotted in places.

I bet I will get a deal out of it.  

A minor eventual lapse of a deadline or something but (1) it's better to know so you know what mistake to avoid in the future and (2) if everything you're saying is true, there appears to have been intention to deceive so all bets (for them) are off.
