There are usually fees for everything but they are not making money unless they have your home occupied so I would like to think that the goal is to not just throw anyone into the home.  

If you have a home that is currently work $100k, and your neighborhood will only support values up to around $125k, but you're planning to throw $100k in renovations at your house, then understand you may never be able to recoup that value.) 

Eric and I are throwing around ideas.

I currently have a SFR that I house hack and can easily throw in another few hundred a month extra towards the principal.How fast would this accelerate the amortization and are there any benefits to it?

I thought I had most scenarios planned for, but this one is throwing me.

They have you send in pictures and they throw it up online.

@Brenda WilliamsonNot necessarily...If the partnership is throwing off UTBI it's possible the IRA may need to file a 990-T and pay unrelated business income tax.Good question for your tax professional.

Now that i am out of the military working in a new W2 career, i am trying to get back into the RE investing and actually understand how to invest more appropriately and correctly compared to just purchasing houses that i would like to live in...Currently i have about 80k saved up for my next investment deal and just feel like im coming up short on anything even coming close to 1% rule, so to see if there are ways to invest it, i figured i would ask the public how they would go about investing the money, because i am always up for learning something new.If possible, could you throw a quick example or maybe a short answered deal you could possibly go buy today in your own market to get an idea...I am currently searching up to 2hrs from the Tampa, FL area.

(Normal market)AS a displined investor I will not throw my $$ hoping for future appreciation and hoping all is good.

I also have geologist friends in the field and considered throwing them some cash and letting them do their thing, but drilling can cost millions and wouldn’t provide diversification, so i am not on that level.For mining operations, the only one I could find was Klondike Strike by Red Cloud.
