I own a victorian house that was fully gut renovated/modernized 18 years ago.

Who’s accountable when the result is based on any combination of purchase price, managing contractors, design choices, market forces, blind luck, etc.?

The city's rising stature as an international tourist and business hub, combined with limited waterfront property, suggests a promising upward trajectory for property values.2.

The marginal rate is computed on all income except capital gains & depreciation recapture, whereas I was computing it on the full, combined amount.Thus, for good reason nothing is being taxed on the Schedule D Tax Worksheet above my 24% marginal rate.

In theory, it would make more sense to maximize value through the retail route and enter a combined exchange, but finding the right buyer for all three in GA + 1 buyer in Iowa could be a better return on brain damage.Good news is there is still a lot of cash out there seeking yield.

I absolutely love the look of modern horizontal rails/cables. 

Even with a solid biz plan showing we can 3X their revenue just by switching to full-time operation and using modern rev management. 

I am hoping that this, combined with the expected rate cuts, will make it easier to find good LTRs next year.

Agree with @Jaron Walling - forget what a stranger on the internet that, in my case, lives several states away says and ask questions of the two guys that you know that have 165 combined units in your market. 

While there are limitation on how to use the money, a SDIRA is a great vehicle to combine the compound returns, tax preferred IRA with the solid investment that is real Estate.
