IRA funds can be used to make investments only; they can't be used to buy a residence.

I'm Clayton from Fort Worth TX, passionate about real estate investing for two years and counting.

Is that going to work?

I am new to this multifamily/commercial side of things.

And my houses were new construction really nice brick homes.. 12 years of owning them made zero return by the time I had to freshen them up to sell. but at least they sold retail..

Craigslist wasn't safe 20 years ago and it still isn't safe.

if your doing a senior project I would suspect your best and most cost effective landing solution is going to be a local community bank that loves real estate.. in my experience most will want 50% down on the dirt and a ton of experience and a really strong balance sheet.Myself I always pay cash for the dirt this makes finding a lending partner much easier.

If you do, set a goal for how many you want to do every year and you'll force yourself to find a way to hit that goal. 

If the tenant knows they have to pay, they won't report the problem.

Hi, I am Canadian, and I am not a registered agent, but interested in seller finance, so my question is can I talk to sellers directly or I have to do this through an agent that represents me?
