@Nabeel Mahmud I rent directly to companies both for profit and non profits that provide care for individuals with special needs. 

I get to HD, start talking to the manager, surprisingly everyone sprung into action, they are calling to get the surveillance video, calling other stores, attempting to block the items from being returned w/o the receipt, which I had by the way.In the mist of all these advocates working for me, i get a text.

Plan for 10% vacancy, maintenance, higher taxes, insurance, cap ex to renovate, reserves, management fee 10%, utilities unless individual metered.

Investor friendly realtors we are in search of the worst house on the best block somewhere in Suburban North Jersey?

My duplex is just a few blocks north of Brooks Ave and while most of the people looking at it knew it was a good street, we still struggled, and are only getting $750/mo for a 2 bed.

well rounded individual !! 

If it is better than what the IRA is invested in today, and better than passive investments such as hard money lending, then you are getting the best results for your IRA with this strategy.If UBIT is a road block for you, then you switch gears and either have the IRA be a hard money lender to flippers and produce passive interest income that will not be taxed, or you buy-fix-rent and then sell a few years down the road to turn the property transaction into a passive rental, so that when you do sell, there is no tax implication.It is possible to combine your IRA with your wife's when making investments, but it gets more complicated when you do that.

Maybe it depends on the individual asset mgr....sometimes they don't have a value and just bid the FJ, and sometimes they bid a reasonable number. 

But like others have said sometimes there are savvy or affluent individuals who are looking to liquidate for one reason or another. 

I understand - - lived in Cupertino and chased several deals in Sacro.My point is NEVER be the best/highest value on the block - - you improve everyone except yourself and you starve on the vine!
