There are no deadlines for completion on the project.

I will be flying into KC in a few week for a side work project.

Unless your site/situation has unique or special circumstances that do not generally apply to similar projects, it may be difficult to successfully argue that you should be allowed to have reduced setbacks when others in similar situations can't.

I did not do a lot of work on this project, I let my market research and the appreciation do it all for me.

I remember as a kid, going to birthday parties/sleepovers in the housing projects one weekend, and then doing the same in multi-million dollar estates the next.

My partner and I are relatively low volume (3-4 projects per year).

I have done about as much as I am comfortable taking on and am looking for some professional help for small misc projects. 

3- Can a business partner, whom is not a family member, borrow from my Self Directed IRA if its a flip project we are doing together?

I would check around with this guy and make sure he has finished projects.

Who is going to write up the budget and update the books as the project progresses. 3) You THINK that flipping houses will be your EASIEST way to make profit?!!??!
