However, what keeps me thinking is when I find the motivated seller/ deal  and the motivated buyer - The part of the paperwork and transaction.

.- “Landlord is required to supply at all times during tenancy…a unit in a clean and safe condition and the premises in a habitable condition…"- "Uninhabitable - ...Defects or conditions ... unhealthy such as cockroaches or mold..."

Is the transaction once removed, meaning I personally want to buy the house (I'm not making money off of the purchase of the house, but the remodeling done).

The transactions should be:Investor -> Wholesaler -> SellerBut my contract I had wasInvestor -> Seller To try and compensate he then sent me a copy of an assignment which I refuse to sign since he needs it signed by the seller.

I usually like to do all the subcontracting myself, but decided to let the general contractor do it to safe time.

You need both for wholesale transactions unless you are doing a double close.

You will, iin general,  potentially get higher returns the more risk you take.I also made the decision to invest in a higher class of property as I am just not ok with profiting off the poor (yes, i know they need houses to live in and there are folks that provide safe affordable housing) It is ok to invest in any class of property you want.

Initially I thought about getting a hard money loan and doing a traditional transaction so that my in laws can get their money right away, however time is not of the essence Someone also told that me to save money (avoId poInts/fees/Interest) and just “partner up” with my InLaws and write a contract stating that upon the sale of their house, they’ll get their 400K and I’ll get the rest, have them give me a quitclaim deed to the property and i’ll pay their mortgage and expenses during the rehab months.

If you have partnered with your Ira &  lend $$ from your IRA in the scenario described it will be a “prohibited transaction” and blow up your Ira. see if you can get a non recourse loan from an allowed person, Ira, or company. 

As a condo owner it made prices stagnate as this limits the buyer pool to conventional and cash transactions.
