Keep in mind local zoning laws and market conditions in Portland versus Salem—Portland might offer higher rents but stricter regulations, while Salem could provide better cash flow opportunities.Your design approach has proven successful, so continue focusing on appealing upgrades like kitchens and bathrooms, but prioritize cost-effective and durable materials for rentals.

There is an online calculator that tells you how much interest you have to give them (no it doesn't matter if you actually made that amount of interest or not on the deposit).

If you don't mind, can you share those resources with me as well?

And if you’re listing the house online, try platforms like LoopNet or local Facebook groups for real estate or community housing.Just make sure to do your homework and ask for references, check their track record, and make sure they’re following any local zoning or licensing rules.

This is just one example but without some intense research online you may not learn this, but by speaking with someone very knowledgeable in your chosen areas you not only save time but may find even better opportunities.Best of luck!

Does anyone have an online link where we could all do this?  

Financing can also vary depending on whether it’s 2-4 units or 5+ units so keep that in mind as well.Having a strong team and lender familiar with multifamily deals is crucial.

The latter part of my post was referring to the protection of the account, not the assets through funding but the cash left on-hand.I think because banks are or were typically used for ck, savings, etc, I never looked to them as offering IRA/SDIRA.When I opened my account (2018) it was with specifics in mind and now I am reevaluating.

You can look those up online through the Secretary of State website most times.Hope that helps!
