However, (a) there are IRA/401k compliance concepts that you should be aware of and (b) you should develop an efficient method for accessing IRA capital - I'll often get introduced to syndicators that find dealing with IRA/401k money to be a huge nuisance, which it does not have to be.On most syndicated deals there will be leverage involved, resulting - potentially - in taxable UDFI to IRA investors.

I am wondering how seasoned investors obtain the rehab cost number in an efficient way so they can quick screen, and either dig deeper or move on to the next potential deal. 

I’m pretty familiar with cost efficient ways to remodel the interior but I am not well versed in exterior options.

There are Michigan specific laws and there is a large document I can read to learn more about them but I'm sure it is not efficient to write the contract myself. 

I just put cheap bulbs in and let the tenant put energy efficient ones if they want. 

. $5-$8/sheet.Gas dryers are more efficient and quicker, from my experience too. 

I spent quite a few hours researching how to build a website and then bought my domain names, a template, and a host and now I'm finding that I am not as efficient as I had hoped with making changes.

This doesn't seem very efficient to me to have that high percentage of my income going to expenses.

I opted for a ductless mini split instead, which is much quieter and more efficient.

I have read that roof mounted AC units have less maintenance requirements and are more efficient since they get to use gravity to feed the cold air (which likes to move down) through the ducts as opposed to basement/outside units that have to pump the cold air through the warm air.
