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

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. 

You need to make sure it's furnished and has all the amenities needed for extended- stays (fully stocked kitchen, washer/dryer, TV, etc.)

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. 

This Water Street deal was financed through a combination of private funding and resources from our partner, Tricia Hart.

In this part of the market cycle, newer vintage assets, median incomes of at least 50k, washer dryer hook ups, more two beds than ones, townhome style assets.When the broker showed us the deal we didn't have to waste time analyzing it.

In real estate, a broker or a salesperson can be the agent of a seller or a buyer.Here’s a list of the fiduciary duties that an agent owes her client:Accounting: The agent must account for all funds entrusted to her and not commingle (combine) client/customer funds with her personal and/or business funds.Care: The agent must use all of her skills to the best of her ability on behalf of the client.Confidentiality: The agent must keep confidential any information given to her by her client, especially information that may be damaging to the client in a negotiation.Disclosure: The agent must disclose to the client any information she receives that may benefit the client’s position in a negotiation.Loyalty: The agent owes undivided loyalty to the client and puts the client’s interests above her own.Obedience: The agent must obey all lawful orders that the client gives her.

Same goes for Washer/dryers

Do you think it would be better to just make the washer/dryer only available for the unit that has it on their utilities and not allow the other tenant to use it?
