Dustin,It is possible to use a self-directed IRA to invest in real estate, however you most likely will not be able to fund it from your PST.

I'm gonna keep this short and simple: If you want free leads of absentee owners follow this method..if you know your market: go to gosection8.com and text all the landlords on the site something like "I see you own a property on 123 street I'm looking to invest in the area would you be open to possibly selling a property?"

I am sure they can if it is distinctly wet dog smell and not urine.We only use vinyl plank flooring like allure or something similar now whenever possible.

But buying a property within an LLC, in the LLCs name and with the LLC as the borrower is completely possible.
