@Ryland Taniguchi  I have done a lot of work with SDRIA custodians over the years and I have never heard of any of them prepping RE docs  ... it would be a normal escrow with your escrow officer prepping your DT and if they are able your Prom note.they then send to the custodian for approval. then they fund.Once the nice things about working with lenders that have a true check book IRA they simply cut a check to title and its much smoother than the custodian approach.

Sounds like you heard/read that in a book.

They actually keep it on their books for CF - this is how they drive ROI for their investors.Look at local banks with 3-5 locations in a few towns in the area.

Also google search Mark Loeffler an agent/investor focused on Hamilton Ontario wrote a few books on Rent to Own.I actually bought my first rental off him. 

With that being said i am looking for any advice on anything you think I should be learning from books I need to read to mentors I should be speaking to or RE investing clubs I need to be joining.  

I hate to continue this LLC debate but it's pretty clear that 90+% of people here spend way too much money on LLCs with false hopes of protecting themselves and/or their assets (and most really  have no assets to protect anyways) because they read Rich Dad Poor Dad or any of a number of gurus books that bring nothing of value for the real estate investment business.

IE we got a book with all the listings in it.. the public had no access to the book and you needed an agent.Now we go through a progression which includes getting your buyer prequaled .. then they will usually do their own drive bys  and only when they focus in on potential properties will you actually show them to them..

All the things the books talk about that are way too good to be true. :)

I purchased "The Book On Investing In Real Estate With No money Down" today and I'm hooked!

I feel I would learn better with live classroom instruction going over the Principles and Procedures books.
