We never signed an exclusive buyer broker agreement.

Many of those were in those areas and I never had issues.

I managed a budies house in a strict HOA and he was continuously being sent bills for fines from things like parking on street or leaving trash cans on the street after trash day.I personally will never buy an investment property where there is an HOA.

Don't know a really good source now, stay away from Andersen, but first question is, do you really need asset protection?

All cashflow after that will go directly to your bank account.When you make contributions from SDIRA on the other hand, you don't get to enjoy the cashflow and all profits right away since all proceeds go directly back into the IRA account and you end up paying taxes when you are ready to cash out.My question is what method do most investors prefer to go with when investing in syndications ?

We ended up tearing down all of the homes and rezoning one of the parks to open a new Mobile Home dealership. 

I ended up only being able to pull 89% of my LTV due to my DTI.

As for your question on the hard money lenders - I don't think it matters how you source the equity for a deal, but it's more important how much equity/downpayment you can put down on a deal - i.e. 10%, 20%, 30%, etc...
