What I also like is the ability for screening tenants, they pay directly for their backgrounds, I don't see any personal/sensitive information and reports come in within minutes. 

Since pest control depends on cleanliness...and since sensitivities to pesticides can be a big liability issue, we say "the property is provided pest free and we will re-treat for any issues in the first 30 days.

This works OK for relatively static and simple investments like a private placement or crowdfund, but can become rather cumbersome and expensive with a more time sensitive and transaction intensive asset such as a rental property.

@Nitish PaliwalGet to understand the math behind it and understand sensitivity analysisBruce Kerth at refm has great courses

I would want to see the sensitivity analysis on that asset. 

You can mask any sensitive information before sharing

So, ultimately, you are the one responsible for ensuring your IRA transactions are within the rules, regardless of which structural approach you choose - custodian held or truly self-directed with the checkbook LLC model.In some cases where the dollar value is lower and the account is being invested in relatively static assets without time-sensitivity or frequency of transactions, a custodian serving as intermediary can be a fine solution. 

They are all interrelated, but sellers are most sensitive to down payment and monthly payment, in my experience.

- Know that interest rates on DSCR mortgages are very sensitive to Loan to Value.

If not time sensitive they text or email.
