@Olivia Blake how much money will you potentially lose by strong-arming a tenant and then having them break the lease early - or even just not renew?

Fees seem high but could potentially be worth it.

Cash Flow Potential: Rental income from real estate held in an SDIRA flows directly back into the account, allowing you to reinvest and compound your wealth tax-advantaged.

Digging down is a project I am just finishing up.... it is exhausting but potentially worth it.

Buying a second home to rent out is a solid strategy, but be sure you understand the cash flow, including mortgage, taxes, and potential vacancies.

There are outlier circumstances and big-picture strategies that could potentially apply; but that's why they need to talk to someone about their specific situation. 

Investing in  2-4 unit properties within the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex would be ideal but I am also interested in other potential deals, that fall within the 2-4 unit range. 

Your VA loan will be crucial to your real estate investing growth, especially since it affords you the potential opportunity to own more than one property, depending on your overall allotment.For active military personnel, that conundrum of where to invest and where you will end up is always part of the issue that sometimes causes analysis paralysis so it's great you have one in VA Beach already.

Avoiding errors and being educated on the laws can save time, money, and potential legal challenges.

In fact, some of the best opportunities in real estate come from properties that others overlook—distressed homes with potential that just need the right investor to bring them back to life.If you’ve been in the game long enough, you know that distressed properties can offer huge upside, but they also come with their own set of challenges.
