You want to consider the quality of tenants you get and being in a central area means people can get to their jobs / school conveniently.

Quote from @Lorraine Hadden: What are some strategies you have used to improve or rebuild credit? 

I aim to allocate a small amount of funds toward a Roth IRA and a high-yield savings account (HYSA).My current job offers limited opportunities for overtime, so I’m exploring side work related to real estate, such as part-time property management or similar roles.

Most fields to become world class at something take 5 to 10 years of consistent work and improvement on a daily basis.Today about 21 years in with commercial real estate I have tons of business and also properties I can purchase.

It is Class A so shouldn't be taking too much risk, buuuut a tenant like that with the right job and finances could be a great tenant.

I got into the industry in 2014 with a property management job on Lake Ponchatrain in Slidell, north of New Orleans.

You can't deny the job and population growth, though.

If you plan to do the work yourself, then that is where is becomes less clear especially if a buyer feels you did a less than 100% professional job.

Any suggestions or names of companies that can do this type of job are greatly appreciated. 

@Maria JeanetteHere are some of the downsides of putting real estate into a self directed 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.
