Quote from @Matt Wan: Can I purchase a property using a traditional mortgage without being physically present for any part of the process?

My wife and I have obtained three traditional loans and one lease with the option to purchase, resulting in most banks turning us down based on debt to income (non-portfolio lenders). 

Traditional bank financing.

• Should utilities, internet, or services like snow removal/lawn care be included, or not?

Though I have purchased some with a mix where 330+ days a year, people parked in the driveway and the street except when there were snow bans, but there was enough room to fit everyone in the driveway/parking lot, and that was a hassle to deal with some days. 

Hello Ralph,Yes you can used a HELOC from another property as a down payment for a new one, then get traditional financing on the remaining 100K. 

I bought it because it was supposed to be easier to keep up with than traditional, but I've had to rebalance the ph myself several times.  

Our crew tracked the thieves footprints and sled marks through the snow to some old warehouses nearby and recovered some of the tools.

The idea is to convert a multi-family building into condos; but not in the traditional sense where you separate pre-existing apartments into their own condos; but in a way where you combine the common areas of all of the apartments in that whole building, and turn the individual rooms within those apartments into condos themselves; thus transforming the hallways, kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, porches, balconies into common areas of the condos. 

Looking for advice and suggestions for a Roth IRA Custodian I'm looking to roll over a traditional IRA to a Self-directed Roth by the end of the year, and use that for my investing.
