It is not easy to set up this approach but once established it is bliss.

I do have a finance background, do my own taxes for the portfolio we have and believe I understand the fact set.  

Wednesday, August 31st at 6pmTulsa BP Meet Up at McNellie's SouthIf enough people are interested I'll set up the event.

I own a tax return preparation, financial planning and business consulting firm that specializes in tax returns for real estate investors and setting up LLCs for investors.

It also seems like you've set your sites on REI but don't know which direction to follow.

They have a social mentality that you need to adapt to and can not set your standards too high while at the same time insuring they adhere to all community rules. 

I started marketing to distressed sellers and someone came to me who was set to go to Tax Deed. 

I've found that if you ask the right questions, BP has the people and resources to give you an answer that will set you on the right track.

Good afternoon BP friends,I'm looking at setting up an SDIRA for the specific purpose of buying a single property - an undeveloped lot - and I'm trying to determine if it makes any sense to use an LLC and/or have "checkbook" control for this particular SDIRA.My initial thought is that since this SDIRA would be to buy a single piece of undeveloped land and then hold that property as an investment for the next several years, that the additional complexity and expense of an LLC and checkbook control would be unnecessary.

Analyzed my first potential fix and flip a couple hours ago and found that my max offer would have to be about $22k below asking - I have a feeling that this set of analysis tools is going to prove invaluable to my success.Anyway, just wanted to share where I'm at in my journey.
