Will be traveling to Slidell,LA in January to purchase homes. Does anyone know of homes for sale.

I read a brief article that you can use your roth ira to buy property and after the sale you can put that back in your roth and let it grow tax free. Can one tell me how this is done?

Not knowing your income level,I think you should consultant your accountant on the best way to do this. I know you want to saave money but by going to a good accountant he will pay for himself.

First of all i would consult with an attorney. I think is doable with the assignment of the contract each time. Assigning his interest to you and then you assiging you interest to someone else. Although stating to get messy. Attorney ??????????????? It,s worth the call,what are they going to say NO-o,well

When your are dealing with a person that wants to sell their home,does anyone have a form with question that they ask to save on time so that know one is wasting time.

Check his records for past rental history. Maybe his taxes to see if he is stringing you along.

Hi everyone. 35 years in the construction business-15 years in architectural woodwork installations as an owner/installer. Over the years i have built(on the side) homes ,apartment building and have remolded both residental and small commercial projests. I am now in the process of trying to find property to purchase down in San Antonio,Tx. Will semi-retire in about 3 years but hope to buy some rehab to have something to do. I am glad to be on board,it looks like the place to be.Now living in cold wet Dekalb,IL-Go Huskies

You may want to get and ernest money check so you know that you are not wasting your time with this buyer. With an ernest money check your buyer is a little less likely to run on you. Have your attorney escrow the money if that is how you do things in your state.
