With private patio and great Williamson County SchoolsWhat made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

For starters, you should spend some time looking at the property listings.

Might also try one of the stock brokerages that has intl offices as well like Schwab or Fidelity.I would also get it here in the bank account and ready to spend, before you do much work with them. 

I was told if I could show a professional license such as a broker license I might get approved but the best option would be a Private Investigators license, otherwise, they didn't see any other path to approval for me or my company.

@Mike H.I would find private money to buy this, or as the seller to hold a note, with no payments for 3-6 months, for you to lease it up.

You can purchase the first one with a private loan from your dad or cash to minimize risk, and leverage a second or third property with a bank loan and the rest of your cash.

And now your building a community and reputation with the BEST finance-$ there is, PRIVATE-$.

Quote from @Audris Tien: Hi @Deb, just wondering what self-directed IRA firm you are using to do this for private lending?

MTR is less spend on furniture, less guests, and at that price point for a buy, will likely make more money and have less upkeep and management.
