I have an self directed IRA and the bank it's with (Solera) has problems with Plaid. It prevents me from transferring money to my crypto exchanges and I end up wiring money, which gets expensive. It would also be nice...

What this does is allow you to control more, at far less cost per dollar gained. 

I really feel like the more options I can give to the buyer, the more I can make him comfortable and feel more in control of the transaction.

Plus, it gives you enough control to where your site won't look like everyone else.

Tyler Shirk's team with Bear BnB is the "go-to" for STR PM in Kansas City-- and they specialize in taking control of the property, furnishings, and pretty much handling everything.

Hi Claude,I just closed on a 3 family in Newark, and went through the process of registering the units with the rent control office.

Rates are higher than a conventional investment, but in some cases you may find these have lower fees since a DSCR lender isn't controlled by Fannie/Freddie loan level pricing adjustments.

You could theoretically (if your DTI is good enough) control a $1M asset for $50-60k.

No shortcuts here and you need to largely be in control and able to execute.
