Hello everyone,Out of curiosity, when first raising capital is it easier/better to 1.raise a fund or 2.get capital promised if a deal meeting certain criteria matches with a specific capital providers needs?  

Retired at 35, terrific plan.Self-directed IRAs and 401(k)s for investing are a tricky business with specific, esoteric rules established by the IRS.

More specifically, I'm looking to buy and hold a duplex, triplex or fourplex.  

@Rodney Marcantel any specific reason why you need private lenders?  

I would suggest checking out the specific neighborhood.

Yes if they are a component of the total costs capitalized specifically attributable to the acquisition of the property.

and apparently this home was built specifically for two sisters to be able to live close to each-other, so it is two separate units in one building. 

Interested in best tactic Specifically for FL if you know 

LLCs can also elect to be taxed like a corporation so check with your tax advisor for specific advice.

You'd need to talk to a QI on the specifics here.
