Am I correct in my thinking that I could transfer into a self directed IRA and use those funds for lending and accrue that interest tax differed into the IRA?

Hi, I'm relatively new to REI and was reading up on concerns about wholesaling without a real estate license and being brought to court for brokering real estate without a license since technically we don't typically close nor transfer title under our name when we wholesale.  

Kristopher,You can not sell or otherwise transfer the property from your self-directed IRA to yourself.

This could be handled with a note and mortgage/deed of trust, or it could be a simple contract for deed, in which the deed doesn't transfer until satisfied. there are many legal instruments that can work here.

I've been very happy with the turnkey provider but I noticed that every house I looked at had a rent to sales ratio of 0.90%-1.10%.... a little too precise to be a conscience.

@Jason RyersonThe Self-Directed IRA and Solo 401k Differences CONTINUEDThe solo 401k business owner can serve as trustee of the solo 401k;The self-directed IRA participant/owner may not serve as trustee or custodian of her IRA; instead, a trust company or bank institution is required;When distributions commence from the solo 401k a mandatory 20% of federal taxes must be withheld from each distribution and submitted electronically to the IRS by the 15th of the month following the date of each distribution;Rollovers and/or transfers from IRAs or qualified plans (e.g., former employer 401k) to a solo 401k are not reported on Form 5498, but rather on Form 5500-EZ, but only if the air market value of the solo 401k exceeds $250K as of the end of the plan year (generally 12/31);When funds are rolled over or transferred from an IRA or 401k to a self-directed IRA, the amount deposited into the self-directed IRA is reported on Form 5498 by the receiving self-directed IRA custodian by May of the year following the rollover/transfer.Rollovers (provided the 60 day rollover window is satisfied) from an IRA to a Solo 401k or self-directed IRA are reported on lines 15a and 15b of Form 1040;Pre-tax IRA contributions on reported on line 32 of Form 1040;Pre-tax solo 401k contributions are reported on line 28 of Form 1040;Roth solo 401k funds are subject to RMDs;A Roth 401k may be transferred to a Roth IRA (Note that from a planning perspective, it may be advantageous to transfer Roth Solo 401k funds to a Roth IRA before turning age 70 ½ in order to escape the Roth RMD requirement applicable to Roth 401k contributions including Roth Solo 401k contributions and earnings.)

My company has accepted many appraisal transfers from other companies who were not able to get the deal approved..

I was able to get the PSEG service transferred in my name by bringing the eviction paperwork. 

They can remain as-is, even if ownership is transferred, as long as you don't renovate them.

There is much more shared office space, where you don't have an assigned desk- but a locker and generic hook-up with transferable phone line logins.
