@Joseph Ayoub do you stock the kitchen for them with pots, pans, dinnerware stuff too.

Not sure about the housing stock in your area, but in AZ, homes built in the last 30 years tend to have the least amount of work needed because they are built with stucco walls and concrete tile roofs that last a really long time.

After making a few grand I'd probably be miserable, sore and pissed off and would take the money and buy some stock options or something.

What makes a self-directed IRA custodian different is that they are not purely connected to the public exchanges and limited to investing in stocks, bonds and funds, but rather have the staff training and paperwork to document the IRA's investment in the more individualized transactions that occur when investing in real estate, notes and other non-traditional assets.

The richest people in the world are those who are able to make their money work for them and grow even while they are asleep.While there are many investment options like Stocks, Certificate of Deposits, and Bonds, investing in real estate is the best.You may ask why.Well throughout history, real estate investing has offered some of the most consistent and steady returns on investment.

My approach to this is to look for ways to add value including increasing the value of properties and also looking for parts of the market that are on the rise because of the increase in money mainly things people do because of a feeling of greater wealth (ie there stocks and real estate going up in value) and things people feel will increase the quality of there life.

In essence, it is like you deciding to purchase shares of a public stock both personally and with your IRA.

Hi, Im looking to move some money from stocks over to real estate.

@Tim RaineyYes, we are in an asset bubble (see the stock market) driven by near-zero interest rates.

Unless you can add value (subdividing was mentioned in a response above), you're still likely better off in the stock market.
