Quote from @Noah Davis: Hi Everyone,I am looking to buy 10 investment properties this year.

With an SDIRA, you can invest in long-term rentals while preserving your retirement savings, but you must follow strict IRS rules:1.

But he did take a loss that set his family back quite a bit, caused a lot of stress in his marriage, prevented them from being able to buy the new home his wife wanted with the right number of bedrooms for his kids, set him back years in saving for retirement and buying investment properties that could have made him money instead of losing money, etc.

What type of investing are you looking to get into?

Hi Angela,Your tech background can help you evaluate the deals but I fear that you don't have a comprehensive plan of what you want to do with investment real estate.  

All I'm looking for is return on my investment. 

Even at $2200 I don't expect to get a positive cash flow for the first year, but that's okay as long as I rent it out and learn from my mistakes for my next investments.

Do you invest in any of those areas? 

First, it’s important to know that manufactured homes are seen as a slightly riskier investment and consequently have a slightly higher interest rate.

So...if you are going to be investing in real estate beyond one house, find a good banker.
