Assisting a homeowner to manage their own property will not run you afoul of the law, if you don't engage in certain activities.

Some people told me that Lewiston in investors eyes is a buyer market which again I am a newbie with no experience but I am trying to engage and take action, he numbers for me aren't bad at all I might positive less than $100 cash flow but to me this is really great as I will live there for free compared to renting in Portland for almost $1000.

According to the IRS rules disqualified person is not allowed to provide any services to the IRA, engage in any transaction with the IRA or benefit from the IRA in any way (directly or indirectly):https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/plan-particip...Buying a house to live in using IRA funds provides direct benefit to you (disqualified person) therefore this would be a violation or IRS rules.

I would just let the process work the way it should and keep all qualified buyers engaged so that I get the highest price.  

Do your research and continue to engage with everyone as we are all here to help each other succeed.

You'll need a way to handle employment verification, as well.A good next step would be to learn how to attract and engage private lenders.

@James Braggs,That will help you get in the door.You can also learn how to attract and engage private lenders so your income / credit will become moot issues.

I would like to start with something I can do on the side since I work fulltime and eventually build up to having a few rental properties as well as engaging in the occasional flip.
