The city operates on a block-by-block basis, and understanding those nuances takes legwork—or working with someone who truly knows the area.

How about using SDIRAs not to hold assets but to operate businesses?

I made that mistake with a 2 bedroom condo - after 1 year, I had to shut down operations due to HOA rule violations of NO short-term rentals less than 30 days.#8 The 30 day+ rule -  Certain places Airbnb is outlawed or a softer rule is the 30day+ rule.   

Regards, ClarkI'm curious, @Zhenyang Jin, with a DSCR at 1.30x, what are you total operating expenses relative to your EGI (Rent after vacancy expenes)? 

Hi, we are a small operator with 14 doors and Grasshopper told us we can't send texts anymore because we don't have a website.

Would love to hear form some Multi-Family owners/operators in these markets about pros/cons and specifically neighborhoods to avoid.My wife and I have been to Columbia SC many times and, while we have never been to Little Rock Arkansas, we plan on going in Late March! 

I’ve talked to a number of investors and they can’t get 10% down on owner finance transactions were the deed transfers at closing.I operate in 4 or 5 markets.

.: That sounds very similar to how I operate.

While there could be avenues to acquire real estate creatively with less cash operating  real estate properly is capital intensive. 

None were a match for me personally and many were not a strategy I wanted or too speculative (such as opportunistic strategy which is the riskiest strategy or investing in tertiary markets which also tend to be the first to go belly up when there is trouble etc).You probably actually want to look at your operating agreement to see what rights you have to books and records, etc.
