Quote from @Rajagopalarao Paidi: How much value goes down for a house with foundation issues, found a house for FixNFlip, they mentioned it has foundation issues and they got them fixed, but whats the value reduction from market price , How safe it is to purchase house like these Not safe at all unless you have an INDEPENDENT inspector who really knows foundation issues gets all the documentation from the seller and talks to the seller’s contractor and then conducts his own inspection of the foundation, house, and surrounding lot.

BP Team,I'm looking for perspective/thoughts from those of you who conduct private lending from your SD-IRAs and those of you who hold leveraged property therein.

@Ned Carey thanks for that blog post, saved it as I will be conducting that search shortly.

More specifically, the group has an agreed code of conduct. 

Almost bought myself a property with a major leak because the seller sent proof with receipts but I dodged a bullet when I conducted my own re-inspection!

Agree to an escrow by the seller to hold for any checks clearing, your agreement can address this that he has personal responsibility for conducting any business 10 days prior to settlement.

They are also free unless you want to conduct business networking, where a paying platform exist too.

So knowing that some markets could be much more profitable than others, I'm leaning toward conducting a broad nationwide search.

That is how I believe business should be conducted.

You dont know where you will want to conduct business 10 years down the road.
