And then use a direct mail service like Yellowletter HQ and select the smaller envelope.  

I've selected Collin, Denton, and Grayson counties as my investment focus.My goals involve investing in small multifamily properties and long-term rentals.

I would highly recommend doing a renovation loan like the 203k or homestyle - you are able to leverage SO MUCH CASH for such a low down payment. 

What experience does he have in real estate or in selecting investments in his IRA?

I won’t abandon the strategy yet, but I’m not convinced the coaching will provide value as Tardus is not selecting the investments for me and I’m still spending all my time with due diligence. 

My recommendation would be to engage an investment property focused realtor (not a general residential realtor) and let that person guide you through the process from pre-qualification to market/property valuation and selection. 

It’s on the rise but you just have to be selective regarding location and try to go for turnkey or keep it minimal regarding rehab  So you don’t have a nightmare story trying to manage a rehab from Out of Town. 

Best of luck with selecting your market—there's a wealth of knowledge and supportive investors here to help guide you along the way.

A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant specializing in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.Consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for an accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

My suggestion would be to select someone with the most forum posts or most reviews.
