I don't think he was the type to try to create a situation.

Pedro,Bringing your IRA into the picture as a 'partner' for this investment would create a prohibited transaction.

I created a FB page (Military Owned And Operated Rental Homes) for all active duty military members to list their properties for free.

I created a ticket for this and our devs will look into it. 

Create investing games and simulations. 

@Matthew Paul  OREO agents we deal with are so MUCH better than a wholesaler you buying form the bank  title is OK.. they give you a shot at the deal.. and they KNOW basically what a deal is .Good OREO or investor agents most defiantly create a niche for themselves..

Chase,A Limited Partnership or LLC is created for the sole purpose of purchasing the property.The Limited Partners (LPs) are the passive investors and the General Partner (GP) is the person/company or group of people/companies putting the deal together. 

Can I still expense it or does that create some issue?

and my fiancee and I are looking to create about $5,000 a month in passive income, so that I can afford to work less and we can travel together during the summers (which he has off).I'm thinking that I should begin by house hacking since we are currently paying 2,000/mo in rent.  

The strategy sounds fine but will be a slower process (time) as well as more expense with your cash being tied up inside each property.I'm a fan of the  BRRRR method, where you use debt to create assets and then have the renter pay your debt off over time.
