I do, however, advise waiting until you are able to find or create a great deal that you can afford before investing, and those type of deals don't just fall into your lap, you must work and actively seek them out ... the sooner and harder you start looking for them, saving for them, and educating yourself on how to spot and find them, then the sooner you will find them.

You will be coPete g with most every other  buyer with that type of criteria.

The statement is a bit ambiguous because if you are only referring to a person that has to sign all the deals and be there at close type things, then both the LLC IRA and Solo 401K does not require a custodian to do the deals, both have checkbook control and I can sign for the deals myself in an LLC IRA.

It's easier to work with but it appears you want a very specific list of property type.

It really depends on what you are looking for and the type of investment that would be best for you, given your current investment goals, tax needs, etc.

If you're probably better off waiting, he is the type of guy to let you know that as well. 

Your question doesn't mention type of property/size/condition/situation...

Depending on what type of area you are interested in buying.
