But if you look at bottom of page 9 top of page 10, it clearly states property can't be contributed to the IRA but the funds can used to make the purchase which is what I said. as for holding it as a position, I was wrong I guess in theory if your IRA is large enough to purchase a property (which that word along has many meanings) you can sell what ya got to purchase it bearing in mind the strong limitations like the cash flow can't be another contribution because its passive income and IRA's as we know are funded with earned income or that this can't be personal property it has to be for an investment.

That being said, if you're solely getting licensed for MLS access, I strongly recommend that you speak with a buyer's agent in your market first.

So I strongly believe there is a happy medium here.

Rates are a bit higher than conventional but if you're talking to the right people and have a strong credit score then you should be getting priced out in the mid 5% range which shouldn't eliminate cash flow on a great deal.

BUT, this was a stale deal with strong broker relationship AND very uncommon.1% is the standard I hear. 

I recommend a brick and mortar bank that has a strong online presence.

Economy is strong, prices decent, returns good.

If I was to hazard a guess, I would say expect to see some strong economic shifts in the next 18 months.

If you ARV is very accurate and your construction is on budget, it is usually pretty strong as a rule of thumb.

@Esther Ghebremichael based on your response of having high income potential as a dentist and no desire to become a landlord yet a strong desire for passive monthly cashflow I would suggest researching into passive real estate syndications if you have not already.
