No bank wants the wrath of the administration on them if they create a wave.HUD homestore has been empty for months and now has some properties listed.

. For some reason my HML is requiring the SDIRA custodian company (the one that set up the IRA and holds the administrative accounting but doesn’t do business in or with MY SDIRA LLC) fast nine have a good one to sign on my REI condo purchase.

Since there is no custodial requirement for the 401k, you don't need the additional expense and administration of an LLC to obtain checkbook control.

I’ve seen other property managers do similar things with “administrative fees” which are higher than the cleaning fee!

Of course, this adds some costs and administrative complexity to your rental business and it may not make sense to do this until you have a few properties in your portfolio.You said that you want to invest in rentals and fix & flips.

Paying water bills at different municipalities 4 times a year and then billing tenants back and collecting from them is also a significant administrative task - how does it compare in your experience?

I've come to a point in my journey where I absolutely need administrative help.

Best source for this question if you really want to be technical is your broker (but I could see why you wouldn't want to approach them) or an administrator of your association.
