Hello Sean,I would consider looking into Self-Directed IRAs. 

Remember, the notion of amassing wealth without investing is a dangerous myth perpetuated by self-proclaimed experts.

If the developer can do better than 35%, then the deal becomes even more profitable for them.

McKinney and Princeton have been growing a lot and it is a good place to invest, but it is always related to what you are looking to achieve in a rental investment, appreciation or cash flow.At this time that area does not offer a big cash flow and due to the amount of development going on there, rental demand has declined a bit.In any case you have to make an analysis case by case.

For what it's worth, I went through 5 different property managers in 2 different markets (one local, one out of state) over a period of 5 years, before deciding I would self-manage everything across both geographies beginning last year.

Quote from @Jaycee Greene: Quote from @Jamie Parker: @David Mares The short answer is to build and develop the area.

(I think they charge around $110 last I looked.) 8 years later the tenant they placed is still there but I have self managed for the last 5 years as rents have climbed to $3,500. 

We’re developers managing our own portfolio and don’t have any outside investors.
