@Arthur LeaoThe Roth IRA likely does not factor into your strategy as you have described it.The Roth IRA is not sufficient to purchase a property outright or with a non-recourse loan.The Roth IRA cannot be combined with personal funds to create a deal, since it is not sufficient to do a deal on it's own.It sounds as if you want access to the income.While an IRA may invest in real property, doing so is a way to diversify the IRA savings, not a way to bring that IRA money into your real estate deals.

I'm trying to be a wholesaler and learn how and where to find or create a pipe with buyers with cash.

Most of the details needed to give you an answer seem to be missing.

Maybe if you shared some more details about your plans it would allow people to be more helpful.

I am currently a student at the University of North Carolina Wilmington and interested in the buy and hold model to create passive income.

I don't deal in Orange County, so I don't know the level of detail you can find online as to the progress of the foreclosure, if there is one.

Especially when the property is remote from the owner, I think a quarterly report of rents and expense details should be required. 

Let me know if you need any more details.

That might create an urgency to buy property before you find the right deal.

Very true David Dachtera But not for the specific details I'll be looking for.
