However - and this is the important part -  you should always be receiving a higher cash-on-cash return for your leveraged IRA dollars than you would with a comparable all-cash purchase in an IRA.The use of debt financing such as a non-recourse mortgage comes with some administrative overhead, but can improve your returns.As you research self directed IRA vendors, look for someone who can help you get a full understanding of this concept.

That concept makes sense, but the word "can't" does fit in my vocabulary.

For the longest time I've felt like if I have the right skills and concepts with flipping cars then I could apply it in real estate and be just as successful.After losing my first job and trying different careers, my feeling has always led me back to wanting to flip houses, so I decided to pull the trigger and put the fear aside.

It was painful to do so (believer in the "bird in hand" concept). 

The whole money-motivation concept here seems way out of whack with this PM company.Am I wrong about this?

(following up)It's always about the client (home buyer or seller).I know first hand how the client will think when you approach them in different ways.Diving in a little...I love the SEO concept (of course its b/c I don't have to pay for that traffic).You'll need *your target keyword phrases* & cities, so you can properly get those leads and convert em.

These homes were still occupied so I couldn't do the open house concept and let people wander around out of sight.BTW, in our state, it is illegal to show a home for sale or rent, unless you are a real estate agent, or own the home. 

Either they just don't understand the concept or they dont like how long it takes to get all the money.  

You can run a cash flow statement or a rental owner statement to see how those funds have the left the property and decreased the cash balance.2) These types of transactions can be entered with a journal entry hitting owner contribution if an owner paid for these repairs outside of Buildium.

I even think that is why I passed the agent license easily because the boring legal concepts all be talked on those Podcasts with real person storied and then I understand and remember them....
