Depending on the amount of money in your IRA, you can use the funds to invest in a piece of Real Estate directly - OR - you can use your IRA as a down payment, and your IRA can secure a non-recourse loan to finance the balance of the purchase.In either scenario, your IRA is the property owner - all income generated by the property flows back to the IRA, and any expenses (repairs, improvements, taxes & insurance) are paid with IRA funds.

If the auction bid amount was $100,000 and the investor then sells to someone else for $125,000, and the borrower wants to redeem, it is $100,000, plus the additional charges, not $125,000 plus additional charges.The additional charges consist of interest at 7.5% per year, the VALUE of all permanent improvements made after the foreclosure auction, and the cost of all casualty insurance premiums.

I'll start off with what I put in my profile about me and expand on it some.I am 38 years old and have flipped 3 properties with my parents in the past (starting back in 2000.)

Financing may be available from the seller, from KOA (if a KOA park), or from a local bank (who may loan on the land and improvements, or extend a business loan guaranteed by SBA).

Although, I've heard other people say that this is a great way to improve cash flow.Shared utilities can be split still.

I've outlined in my profile the types of properties I am seeking.Let me know if you know any good agents who have off-market deals!
