.- What kind of hiccups have you encountered along the way and how did you deal with them?

I'm guessing it was a temporary hiccup.

I could see rational reasons for doing it either way depending on the nature of the investments and personal liquidity situation.For example, if you were pulling a good wage and had savings you could make up for hiccups/shorfalls, so you may want the lower rate even with the bigger payment (your return would be greater).

We don't have any friends, or friends of friends that live in these areas.Looking 5-10-20 years forward, how would a multi-family unit appreciate versus a SFH in the same, not so good area.I know we can buy SFHs in the same area for about $25-$35k in rental condition, with or without a tenant inside.From your experience, do multi-family properties appreciate alongside their SFH neighbors?

If there are disqualified parties among members, then the SDIRA needs to invest up front alongside the disqualifed party, but this also gets very technical.

A hiccup like this should not affect your goals at all, if your goals are based in reality.

I have a buy and hold deal I am working on now that has some financing hiccups I need to resolve.

If anything hiccups with the current buyer you may have an opportunity.

My ideal side gig would be to work for/alongside a current RE investor/rehabber.Onto sales: I agree that sales is a much needed area of expertise for me.

The only hiccup we had was a guy who gave us a bid for stump removals did the job without my approval.
