I've been in the fire service for 17 years and just took a year leave to take my real estate investing to the next level.

Is there any way to properly make that transfer without having to get your original loan through you personally and then transfer it to a SD-IRA or to pay a lower down payment with a non-recourse loan? 

Ranch, split-entry, two-story, tri-level, etc.

Considering depreciation, and expenses, it may be a lower percentage than W2 income, but still a significant portion of the profit will go to state and federal taxes. 

If so you can qualify for lower down payments and other incentives!

Someone who has done a lot of buying and development on this level .I'd be SO grateful for some help!

He lowered the price a few times till someone else put it under contract. 

The Market Value is clearly lower than the Replacement Value, but considering the home's age it has me thinking.I'd love some advice, op that might be helpful to guide me towards a decision. 

I was upfront on my current skill level and abilities and was offered a temp to hire position with the company with a 90 day upfront contract period.

If I looked into the BRRRR method I could treat the money as a private lender, just with slightly lower interest rates to still make it a good personal deal but still get a small profit with someone I trust (myself).
