In addition to conventional financial products, that means that real estate, private note transactions, stock of privately held entities, precious metals, cryptocurrencies and a whole lot of other alternatives are available.A specialty IRA referred to as self-directed is required for alternative asset investing.  

The tenants called the fire department of the same city where the home is located, and the fire was put off.

If you're thinking about considering brokering real estate transactions as a career, it needs to be treated as a career not a side business.There are a ton of niches in real estate and while they may not be common there are real estate brokerages who employ agents full-time with and without commission.The majority of agents though are independent contractors acting as 100% commission sales associates.

Buyer's agents typically represent you at no cost (commission is oftentimes paid for by the seller) AND they'll give you MLS access, off-market deal access, transaction coordination, etc.Holding your license and gaining MLS access is associated with fees - MLS Dues, licensing fees, continuing education fees, broker desk fees, etc.On the other hand, if you are looking to monetize your licensee status by helping folks buy and sell RE, you can earn extra income and potentially make this a career.I began as a part-time agent and was able to quit my 9-5 job after about 18 months.Best of luck to you moving forward!

You're a principal in the transaction so don't let the agent's ego kill the deal for you...continue with your direct discussions. 

In general, if the property is owned by an LLC that is wholly owned by an IRA you will have two choices, but both have some risks.  1st option is that you can take 20% of the LLC as an in-kind distribution and the LLC will now now be owned by your IRA and you personally, which can be potentially be deemed a prohibited transaction under IRC 4975.

Use a title company for the transaction so you don't get surprised by liens etc. 3.
