Rents were well below market and substantial repairs were needed.

@Rochelle GerberHere are some of the downsides of putting real estate into an 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, and you must pay others to do repairs and manage the property.

Just a heads up, a lot of the down payment assistance programs come with higher interest rates and other hooks.

I have done a few hundred sub 2's in my day and all sorts of issue arise that your probably not thinking of or no one could have thought ahead about..

@Grace Hartman Most of the time sellers offer credits instead of fixing repairs.

So, instead of wholesaling your next property to a single buyers list, try looking “outside of the box” to find cash buyers for real estate deals.If you already know where to find cash buyers, you are ahead of the game.

I totally get wanting local insights in the Sacramento area; it can really help.With your hands-on experience in flips and rentals, you’re already ahead.

The only things I have seen them take are comps and a full repair list when they are appraising the final flip.

I've also been focused mainly on Pgh because I have family there who are contractors and can to do any repairs/refurbishments.  

It will help you manage request for repairs/maintenance requests, notify when you are getting a lease coming due, and perform superior accounting verse other more watered down apps.
