My layman's understanding is that you can invest alongside your own IRA as long as the transaction is structured correctly--which is to say, as a partnership at the time of initial purchase.

It could possibly be viewed as co-mingling if a lawsuit was initiated. 

@Courtney JamesThe knowledge is all here and in the podcasts What you’ll need a coach for is guidance and the initial push

You initiate the trip before the property was purchased, so it could be something that needs to be combined with all the costs of buying the property ("capitalized") and then slowly depreciated. 

You don't have an expense for that.Always include a budget for initial repairs.

What is the initial response ratio? 

Exhaust your free resources to make your initial capital then worry about where to invest a marketing budget.

In California, accepting even a partial rent payment after the service of a 3-Day Pay or Quit Notice would void the initial notice and cause you to have to serve a new notice. 

Although I’m 31, my initial goal was to attain 2 dozen single family homes before 30.

I currently own no properties and wondering if this may be a good initial step into investing.
