Pete,That location is most likely in a lower income/higher crime area (read the crime section of the Tacoma News Tribune, seems like most of the stories originate from that area), which is likely why the 4-plex is priced much lower than the comps i've seen elsewhere in Tacoma.  

Good news is, deal is done, and was better than anticipated.

Top of page for the White House:And I pulled Ben Bernanke's after reading on the news that his mortgage refinance application was denied due to being self employed for <2 years after he was no longer Chairperson of the Fed.Often these aren't super accurate; not uncommon for the preliminary title report to uncover more stuff.

Forbes has a habit of putting something like this out every few years.The "bad" thing about investing your IRA in real estate is that the main Wall Street players do not have control over your funds and the means to earn commissions selling financial instruments.His arguments are entirely tilted towards to negative and not providing any context or perspective.I could just as easily pick 3 or 4 historically bad stock investments (Enron) or high fee annuities, and make it sound like that was all that you could expect if you went to a conventional brokerage - which is clearly not the case.For someone who understands real estate as an asset class, there is the potential to have your IRA produce consistent returns and have true diversification away from the news-cycle volatility of conventional financial products.

Good news is it can only go up from here right? 

That's great news @David Campbell. 

The good news is the government always pays, the bad news is the tenants can be unstable.

At the time of the shooting none of the news accounts mentioned the victim’s name and I had no idea I had any connection to him.

I read in the news that they are seeking to develop the mill into a subdivision but not entirely sure when. 

Good news part: My current interest rate is a VA loan with 3.25% on $405,000  balance & my property recently appraised in the $1.1 million range (really good part)Seeking the HOW!
