My guess would be its a "you get what you pay for" situation.Can anyone shed some light with recent experiences?

I'm slowly making smaller improvements, like paint, light fixtures, and outlets, but my townhouse does need some larger repairs, such as new floorboards for my large deck (not covered by the HOA), an overhead light in the master bedroom, and new flooring in the basement.

Quote from @Anshuman Thakur: Can someone please shed some light on how- convert 401k to SD IRA- how to use SDIRA to buy properties- how much down payment is typically required if we are using SDiRA to only fund downpayment on a multifamily CRE, and which banks typically work with SDIRAs- how does LLC structure- property management and cash flow work in this situation?

We are able to get great incentives and the ability to own an investment property that take a very light maintenance budget for the first few years is a huge plus.  

Hey Yianni, I would start with something either turnkey or light value-add, so you can start forming your team with less pressure and risk.

Planning on doing a light reno to replace carpet, repaint, etc.

Light renovation needed, 3 bed 1.5 bath.

Quote from @Austin Ralls: Good evening BP Community, Can anyone shine some light on the rules and regulations on striking conversations with local pros and acquiring more PML to help fund deals? 

Plus, it’s all accessible by light rail!
