In your earlier post, I'm confused about why you felt the need to pontificate about the downsides of withdrawing 4% of your retirement portfolio on a periodic basis.

I am open to investing elsewhere but would have to explore other acquisition methods.

REI is filled with lots of shiny objects and you will success stories from all these different investing methods and it can be hard to stick to a path.

What methods would you suggest to screen potential tenants? 

@Anthony Chan If you underreported depreciation on your rental condo, Form 3115 (Change in Accounting Method) allows you to claim all missed depreciation in the year of sale without amending past returns.

I would list natural and inexpensive methods of "curing cancer" that of course don't make money for the doctor and pharmaceutical companies, so they are not utilized.

.✔ Trust Your Screening Process – If they refuse all verification methods, consider it a dealbreaker.

Here’s how using a Self-Directed IRA (SDIRA) to invest in real estate enhances these benefits, especially for those looking to diversify their retirement portfolio: Tax-Advantaged Growth: Real estate investments inside a self-directed account grow tax-deferred (traditional SDIRA) or tax-free (Roth SDIRA), meaning rental income, appreciation, and even gains from selling the property stay shielded from taxes until withdrawal—or forever in the case of a Roth!

If not, you have to fix it by abatment or LBP hazard control methods.

As far as value add there isn't any one particular method I'm partial to.
