Using these, you should be able to get most maintenance issues addressed in less than 90 days.One other thing, different tenants prioritize different repairs.

However, for me, I would rather just pay someone and not bother with finding tenants, dealing with repairs, etc.

Hoa said that we need to change/repair driveway otherwise we will be fined. 

That HE loan would make you cash flow negative on the first property, especially considering you are not even factoring in any repairs, maintenance, vacancy or management.

@Maria JeanetteHere are some of the downsides of putting real estate into a self directed IRA or 401k.No tax deductions: You can’t claim deductions for property taxes, mortgage interest, depreciation, repairs, improvements and other property-related expenses.Property expenses: All expenses, repairs, and maintenance costs must be paid with IRA or 401k funds.

But I was also sent a document stating that a county housing assistance program was guaranteeing the tenants security deposit (which was accepted by the current landlord) but not for the full lease term because the tenant is no longer receiving assistance and that the guarantee would only be until 2/2025. 

(I would not specify how much.)If the property needs a ton of repairs, then even buying it subject to the existing mortgage may not be enough to make this a viable deal.You need more info, and fast!

In this instance I would tell the buyers I wasn’t fixing it as long as there wasn’t some other reason to compel me to do the repairs.

If a landlord needs to enter a property for an inspection or repair, a two-day notice is required.
