At my Keller Williams office my personal favorite class was Contracts class, where several times a week the most experienced agents in the office teach you about all the forms you will encounter (Purchase and Sales, Property Disclosures, listing agreements, lead paint, and so on) how to use them to your advantage and how to stay out of trouble by using them correctly!

Want to see any hurdles you had to overcome/ how many landlords did you have to encounter before finding one that would allow you to rent the property at a fixed rate and list it on Airbnb.

@Eran StalkolSounds like you've encountered a few bad experiences with private lenders and/or Loan Officers. 

Because it takes repetition for people to remember things and you have to be top-of-mind when they encounter a potential client for you!

With rates so low we pulled cash out of one of the properties and we're going to use those funds to buy the third and keep our savings.In a huge turn of events, my husband will be transferring to San Diego this spring, and looking at the price of homes is an absolute sticker shock. 

I draw this distinction because many of the issues you will encounter with Section 8 tenants are common across lower income real estate investing in general.

Have not encountered any of that, but just putting it out there.

We live in Richardson and still got utility sticker shock from where were originally from.

@Karen Margrave and any others who I may not have yet encountered in the forums.Thanks to all in advance for your time and effort.Bill

For example, purchasing property - together with your IRA - that is adjacent to property that you own can be a prohibited transaction if you benefit from controlling the contiguous properties.That type of prohibited transaction is not unique to co-investing with your IRA, but such structures are more likely to encounter self-dealing.
