We are considering building a small multifamily a couple duplexs, a tri or quad in a small suburb of a larger city (ie Nashville, Knoxville, Atlanta, Ashville). 

The seller is representing themselves so showings must be arranged with them, and offers made to them directly.

Quote from @Michael Lam: Hi All, I'm an out of state investor looking to start a rental portfolio in the Cleveland area for small multi families (2-8 units).

Hi All, Is there such a thing as doing a 1031 exchange or a small business.

Is that some kind of incentive ARM from the builder? 

We have almost exclusively residential but have a few small retail rentals.

The president has zero impact on underwriting guidelines and  zero direct control of interest rates. in fact the fed has no direct control of long term rates that effect mortgage rates.

Will rent for 1750/month.Capex items needed soon: roof, water heater, furnaceArea: A area, appreciation is at about 5% a year but average home price is ~$500K so this home will appreciate faster, this will have multiple offers on itDeal #2 - mixed use, small office with a 3 bedroom and a 1 bedroom over it.Ask: 325KCurrently fully rented on one year leases, bringing in 4775/month but only one tenant pays their own utilities plus owner is responsible for snow removal and landscaping. 

The integration with Airbnb works seamlessly, and although it’s not directly connected to VRBO’s API, we rarely encounter issues.

It seems like there are so many limitations to buying real estate with self-directed IRAs.
