Personally I would want to manage the rental myself at least in the beginning to make sure you get good ratings.

I'm also starting off my own personal investment property journey with my husband. 

Market timing, properly acquired property, personal capital available How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

I would be fine with a $10k non-refundable retainer and $500/hr. personally.

Our short-term residential investment property loans are typically 60-80% LTV and all are personally guaranteed by the borrower(s) -- we pull credit, background and PFS on each guarantor, verify experience, verify liquidity, underwrite the property, neighborhood and zip code.

What appears to be great "curb appeal" to one person might be overwhelming to another. 

However, aside from that, I couldn’t find much information about them, and the only online presence seems to be the wife’s LinkedIn profile (though I’ve never met her in person and am just going off her profile picture on Zillow).After submitting the application through Zillow, we attached our income (two months of pay stubs for each of us from our current jobs), work references, credit and criminal background, rental history, and the contact info for our current landlord (who just so happens to be my fiancé’s father).

I'm curious ultimately how man lawsuits will be filed and the circus that will be.I think the rebuild will take minimum of 3 years and many over 5 years.  

Depreciation Benefits via Leverage: While you can't claim depreciation personally on IRA-owned real estate, SDIRAs can use non-recourse loans to purchase property.

You will have to pay higher personal income tax rate, versus waitingtill after one year for lower Capital gain tax rates.
