You won't be able to even open a bank account without setting up a US entity and appearing in person in the bank in the US. 

The the last deed recorded for the property has two deceased persons as the grantees. 

Ideally a person who is willing to have coffee, dinner with or wants help managing units for while I live in their portfolio.I am a construction manager in Manhattan and build high rise buildings.

I told the guy that I have home warranty and can get someone to come Tuesday, but no he wanted the person as soon as possible, so paid the AC guy from my own pocket :(

I am new to the real estate industry and am looking for personal investment opportunities.

This might include things like intent at the time of purchase, time held, whether a property was marketed for sale, frequency of such transactions, whether you are personally flipping houses separate from the plan, etc.If your IRA is flipping properties on a regular basis, then you will surely want to speak with your licensed tax advisor to be sure you understand the ramifications of UBIT taxation, and whether this tax on the gains from flipping will still leave your IRA with better returns than other options, or if you might need to look at different strategies for the IRA such as long term rentals or hard money lending.

The gc I used was old and wise and lived within his means, however he told me that 15 of his leveraged friends went under and had to file. things are booming again and I'm getting stupid prices when I sale, heck I just saw a person post on the forum about needing a general contractor in Helena Ar!!!

Personally...

I don't have experience with anything like that, but I personally think if you're a newbie the best thing to do is to learn.
