I know some people stay away from them because they are an eye sore. 

@Frank R, I'm sure your success would be contributed to very good screening and decent to at least fair treatment of the tenants!

A self-directed IRA just has a different processing model that facilitates those types of investments, but the underlying IRA is exactly the same as far as tax treatment, rollovers, beneficiaries, etc.

If it is an eye-sore, the neighbors will probably love to unload on you. 

Another consistency has been that the letter needs to show a disability and provide a link to the animal as treatment for the disability.

Even though you bought as an "investment" you living there makes it a personal asset and not eligible for the 1031 exchange treatment.

I am closest to Providence, but am aiming to keep initial investments in MA due to the more favorable tax treatment.

State in the complaint that multiple treatments were required because the tenant incorrectly reported the problem as "rats in the wall".

@Mike Snyder @Sean Walton One of the main reason why the corporation type matter is because of the different tax treatment between "long-term" investment and "short-term" (wholesale/flip). 

A Franco-British-American "mouth sore", which the western Federal Republic of Germany made sure to keep alive and well.
