We have the benefit of learning from so many people on this site that have already been through the ups and downs we will face eventually.

What are the benefits, and how do they hold up in court today? 

That way you have the benefit of long term access to equity, without locking yourself into 30 years of higher interest-first payments on day 1. 

I can't personally benefit from it at this time.

Firstly, everything must be done at arm's length and exclusively for the benefit of the IRA. 

Some of these are tear downs or shells that would essentially be a new home when completed. 

Asking Price: $95,000, I am looking to put 3.5% down (prequalified because I will be living in one side) Listed both sides being 3 Bed 1.5 Bath, after viewing the property 1 side has 3 bed 1.5 bath and other side has 3 bed 2 bath (So that is one of my benefits).

If you enjoy real estate, you can partner with local investors to put your money to work.But, if your goal isn’t to invest heavily in real estate, this is a great property to use as a long term investment and reap the benefits of real estate.

They are essentially banned starting next July unless it's your primary residence. 

You can tell him I sent you, there’s no financial benefit to me but I like for people to know they are appreciated.
