I see you are located in Royal Oak, that is the area we've actually been looking at as I'll be based in Warren at the Arsenal.

I'm based in Powder Springs, Ga.I've always heard about real estate passively but it always went over my head and seemed beyond my reach. 

Many opt for other investing methods in their SDIRA like private lending, crypto, private equity...anything except collectibles and life insurance.Note that a Solo 401k is exempt from UBIT on leveraged real estate so if you have self employment activity and no full time employees save for you and your spouse you should consider the Solo K as an option. 

Hey @Benjamin Jones -  Fellow Japan-based investor here.  

There are just too many options available to go directly to the supplier!

I had an experience with a terrible tenant who reported me for a bogus claim but by making the claim it allowed me to gain access needed to get photos of the condition of the property, and then the tenant refused to allow maintenance people in which really helped prove my side of the situation.If possible, explore alternative dispute resolution options like offering the tenants a cash-for-keys agreement.

I'm looking to purchase my first rental property and have been searching for a deal that would generate positive cash flow based on my projections.

Just like you wouldn't buy a stock without researching the company, you shouldn't buy a property without knowing the market, running the numbers, and understanding your tenant base.👀 Risk ManagementBoth investments require risk management:Stocks: Company performance, market conditions, economic factorsReal estate: Property maintenance, tenant quality, local market changesBut guess what?
