This requires careful structuring (typically using tenancy-in-common arrangements) to maintain compliance while leveraging limited retirement funds.For those concerned about UBIT (Unrelated Business Income Tax) from leverage within IRAs, some investors have successfully used options strategies, securing rights to purchase properties using minimal SDIRA funds, then selling those options for profit or exercising them when additional funds become available.The compliance requirements remain stringent (prohibited transactions can invalidate the entire IRA), but the growth potential justifies the administrative complexity for many investors.Who's actively using a self-directed IRA for real estate?

In fact, we just exercised our own termination on a client about a month ago who was driving my team crazy.You want to find out if they are getting to you in other ways besides the 22%. 

I am committed to doing EVERY exercise period!

You may need to adjust the price up or down depending on the profit targets your investors look for but your familiarity with doing flips should make this an easy exercise for you. 

@Ivette Raygoza BiggerPockets has a dedicated page on this particular topic since it's a common question and concern for most new investors that reside in an expensive market.You can find it here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/marketsI encourage you to go through the exercise and go through the Workshop, and after that, you will get all the clarity you need to make an informed decision on which market to start from.Feel free to send me a DM if there is anyway I can further help you.Keep us posted on your progress and all the best

So there it is, no exercising eminent domain for a quarter trillion dollars.

Some of the properties I sell as Turnkeys to out of state (California) investors who sometimes use CA LLCs while other properties enter my personal inventory until there is sufficient equity to do a refinance and pull the equity out.Occasionally a Tenant Buyer exercises their Option and I use the proceeds to purchase another couple of properties or travel depending on my mood.

This exercise will give you ideas of neighborhoods and what price points are fair.5 - Determine your acquisition strategy.

GENTLY WITH A CHAINSAW  Well to clarify I don't know that I called him out.

That way there’s no confusion.As for this case, I’d probably eat the cost this time (maybe gently let them know this isn't typical maintenance), but use it as a learning moment.
