On our own projects, we always make our own assessments of rental rates, and there are numerous resources for this data once you know where to look.You need to determine the business plan, i.e. duplexes vs. larger project, then have an architect layout the design on your chosen path, then run a set of number (proforma) to determine feasibility.

However, I don’t believe most Custodians or administrators would do this as your checkbook IRA LLC would stand on its own —thus that registration would generally be done by one of the managers of the LLC or an attorney or other professional if it was needed as explained by @Brian Eastman  I don't know who the service providers are...that's part of the question (attorney, registered agent, other)...could be cumbersome with numerous states.Sounds like it is NA though based on Brian's excellent reply. 

I'm sure in a 1-2 hour drive from your area you can find a similar situation that will work out much better numerically and that would be my advice.
