Two years after buying a courthouse foreclosure we received a "demand letter" for a lien placed by the city on a property where a "lot cleanup" (among other issues) occurred.

I'm doing everything in my power to get to the point where I can leave my job and receive all my income from REI.

You cannot use your SD IRA as a down payment and receive a loan to you personally from the bank.

Same in the forums.Everything in your 3rd paragraph is out of the question, won't happen and sounds like you're getting pretty mixed up there guy.Get out of the guru stuff, all of it, don't begin with anything from anyone, spend one week with a real estate text book for agents in you state.

Realtor's cannot receive funds from unlicensed investors or other agents (at least not in my state).

I like to receive 3 percentage points above my cost of money.

What should I do after I receive the check, return, hold or cash it?

I have been so caught up on how and what to spend money on that my business is not receiving what it needs.

We have not received any negative feedback.

I get a text from the seller asking what was going on with the house and if I had an investor yet.
