Now, in addition to the IRA quarterly maintenance and filing fees we keep getting emails stating that we need to pay a yearly fee for them to be our transaction reviewer.

Personally I would be most interested in buy and hold rentals (or lease options), but any type of data collection can have application for the other types of strategy in the end (exit strategy contingencies, etc.).I agree that local news is a good source, though it is generally lagging (by about a quarter in most cases). 

That is a quarter of your investment

Since I’m new in real estate, and at my age, I would like to generate a supplemental income in my retirement even if it’s just one or two properties a quarter.

In hindsight, it's way more sensible to drywall over the walls with quarter inch or half inch drywall.

I told him my fee was 30k per duplex.. so that was my listing agreement  330k each  30k flat fee commission.I took them all to the SF bay area and sold them all in one weekend.. they closed up over 60 days.. so that was a nice 660k in COMMISSION revenue for that quarter.. now I had at least 100k in expenses I had to  front 50k for marketing the event.. but it worked..

If you do it yourself, you don't have to pay yourself but you're also more likely to make a mistake.Also, keep in mind that since most REITS are public companies they have to publish audited quarterly reports telling you how much money/return they made or lost for you.

Most passive LP investors are looking for 80-100% roi in 5 years. 5-10% cashflow paid quarterly too.

I will not make a purchase until first quarter 2019.I'm still in market research stage.
