If you invest in RE, whether active or passive(management team, syndications, crowdfunding), I'd love the chance to quickly explain the structure and hear your thoughts on what might need to be improved.

I am also a project manager and a architectural designer for a real estate developer in NYC. 

I’d love to hear about the crime rates or any other issues (which we cannot guess from the online stats), and how easy or hard it is to find reliable tenants and property management companies.

For example, could I use my SDIRA to operate a management company that charges my holding LLCs a management fee?

Could it attract squatters, or is it the right move for responsible property management?

A scenario like that would likely result in getting your entire investment back upon refi and also a nice cash-flowing rental to manage.   

Will it pay the full PITI plus Capex, management fees, maintenance etc?

You are also going to need to decide how to manage the property.
