I have the goal is investing in real estate using my Self Directed Roth IRA. What is the information I should focus on when comparing companies like Horizon Trust and Equity Trust for Roth? 

In my journey as a real estate investor, I quickly learned the importance of evaluating properties and utilizing underwriting templates.

If you want to accelerate your progress in anything, sourround yourself with people who do that thing at a high level.Did you inherit a tenant?

You want to do a return on equity(current in 2024) to evaluate it as an investment.Return = Annual Cash-Flow and appreciationEquity = FMV less debtThen compare this to what your required return of an investment is along with returns you can get on other investments.If your return is 6% but you can get 8% somewhere else, you may want to consider selling it.Best of luck.

if your serious just send them progress not perfection is the key. get talking to people and see where you mess up then pivot and fix that screw up. if you are writing letters you are far ahead of many. i would also say to add about terms cash buy/no fees or closing cost/ as is/ and so on\.

Lots of good advice above. 98 percent of wholesalers don't even know how to evaluate rehab costs and have no access to get the true ARV and don't care either way, they are just trying to make the biggest spread instead of finding the best win-win scenario.

Does anyone have any basic or in depth tips or things that will give me progress in the early stages of me working this out.
