It may be like $200 but what happens is the mortgage company will charge some higher origination charge of $500-600 for that rate.so you are paying $500+ to save $250 over 30 years.

I’d love to hear about the crime rates or any other issues (which we cannot guess from the online stats), and how easy or hard it is to find reliable tenants and property management companies.

My company manages a little over 400 properties in Ocala and most are OOS investor owned. 

I believe sometimes a bad experience is more reflective of the individual than the company. 

(They claimed thousands for electrical using what appeared to be a fake electrical company, and they never had someone out to even check electrical beyond the general.) 

For example, could I use my SDIRA to operate a management company that charges my holding LLCs a management fee?

Plus, you get huge appreciation here based on how many companies are moving and developing here! 

Use caution when borrowing against your stock portfolio, especially if it's a high volatility portfolio comprised of individual companies.

I got a couple in my own portfolio that I also manage (I have a management company).

With technology and the right culture property management companies can be successful with a mix of local and remote team members.
