@John Kim @Travis Biziorek is 100% correct.S8 really isn't difficult, but it's not the answer to everything that the self-proclaimed "gurus" make it out to be.With S8 tenants, you're just trading one set of challenges versus direct paying tenants.When we advertise a rental, we take the best tenant we can find, immaterial of their source of rental funds.You want to be careful investing in the City of Detroit because there are a lot of "crooks" trying to sell you Class D properties dressed up to look like Class C or B.Connect with us or Travis for more info!

With one property you can self manage even from a distance.   

Finally, The rent control discourages further development, limiting supply which results in higher rents.So rents go up, but the rent control advocates are too uneducated on the economics of the rent control policy to see their role in the rent increase.Another consequence of rent control is no value in keeping the property as nice.

Bob is very good on the customer support and that being said... they are the only company other than myself that I have invested with  basically EVER... as I do my own deals.But I had money stacking up in my SDRA and of course I can't self deal.. so I chose one of his new investments which is more akin to what I like.. quicker turn and high IRR...

Duplex Development Made Easy - SB 9 permits property owners to convert single-family lots into duplexes.

I have a few lots in New Orleans and am looking to run  profitability analysis of sfr 3/2 development v. one zoned as duplex.  

FHA has a self-sufficiency rule that makes it difficult unless you put A TON OF MONEY down.

Other ways of using SDIRAs could be to invest in syndications, performing  or non-performing debt, precious metals, raw land, precious metals, mobile home parks, self-storage facilities and more. 

This development, spanning nearly 6 square miles, promises to create thousands of jobs, generate economic activity, and transform the local economy.

I've also heard about rolling over some money into a self directed IRA to invest in real estate, but that doesn't really solve my problem.
