@Yi Chu,Another important factor you need to understand is that when an IRA is invested in leveraged real estate (most MF deals are), the portion of the income derived from the leveraged portion of the property will be subject to Unrelated Business Income Tax (or UBIT), which can be offset by using depreciation and other deductions.

Equities, stocks, bonds, real estate, gold, silver and everything else is going to increase in nominal value but not necessarily in real value. 

How were they compensated for their time spent on this?

I'm new to real estate and I'm here to learn as much as possible to take action ASAP.

We have someone come in to try and earn our business at least 3 times a week and a host of phone calls.
