I have 6 years experience in my community with fix and flips.

My wife is ill and I need to bring Family for support.

Dallas was a disaster for my clients.

Hi Eric, I use Doug Lyons with Lyons Home Inspections for all of my personal properties and all of my clients.

I have yet to receive any paperwork directing future payments and, as of now, the ex wife said to continue sending payments to the same name and address as always.Does the "Personal Representative" have the authority to direct my payments or does there need to be a ruling from the probate judge to change things?

Any one of us could give you our two cents on the math of it, but only you can decide if it makes sense based on what your specific goals are. personally, i paid points on my house because my goal was lowest possible monthly payment.

I’m always looking to expand my network with like-minded individuals on here, so feel free to reach out.

However, my credit is not good and I'm having a difficult time getting anyone to rent to me.

@Brad Kanouse,I believe this is a duplicate of this post:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/311/topics/1210256-usin...But regardless, here is my answer:If you take a distribution from an IRA - it will be subject to taxes and penalties.You can convert your IRA into a "Self-directed IRA" and have the IRA buy the property, in this case you are not the owner, the IRA is.

Tampa’s my personal favorite (yeah, I’m biased), with strong growth, great tenant demand, and a balance of cash flow and appreciation.
