INTRO/BACKGROUND:
Hi! My name is Brian and I'm a real estate newbie. Or well, I've been lurking Bigger Pockets as a way to educate myself for a while now and am only starting to dip my toes into the waters of real es...

You can do it too -- the key is to have the right team to help you.If you have a specific market in mind then you can work to research and assemble a team in that market to help you find, improve, and manage your properties.If you're not sure what market to focus on then you'll need to start with doing some research on selecting the best markets for you and your goals. 

Congratulations.It's time to assemble your team.You need a good mortgage broker to help you navigate the mortgage waters. 

I'm not aware of much growth in "Assembly lines".The healthcare servicing has developed a large presence.Wright State, UD, Wright Patterson AFB, and Lexus-Nexus are still large employers.I'm seeing a lot of small manufacturers and other businesses hiring employees.In short, Dayton lost a couple large employers (GM, NCR), but is coming back with a lot of smaller employers, and a larger variety of industries.

If you're looking for a passive investment (either full-service turnkey when one company handles everything from prop scouting, rehab, to management, or self-assembled team where you find an agent, contractor, and PM yourself) then most people look to the South or the Midwest.

I'm thinking of managing my own SFRs once I get started (up to maybe the first 3-4) and plan on assembling a good gem of plumber, electrician, appliance handyman, etc so that if I get a call while at work about an issue, I can call up one of those people and get the issue fixed (if it's an issue of that type).

They are not.We were discussing the provision of a list of pre-foreclosures to investors.To assemble such a list in this part of the country we would need to scour land records for recordings of appointments of substitute trustees or visit courthouses to review dockets for new foreclosure cases.

They basically provide you with the designs/drawings, as well as all materials pre cut to assemble the A-frame cabin.  

To learn more about the prohibited transaction rules, see the following. https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/retirement-plan-investments-faqsIf you decide to invest your IRA in real estate, IRA Services Trust Company is in your area so it may be worth reaching out to them so that they can explain what their requirements are to hold IRAs for investing in real estate, as most big banks like Wells Fargo and Chase  don't offer IRAs that allow for investing in real estate.For the most part, the types of investments that cannot be held inside an IRA are:Artwork,Rugs,Antiques,Metals - with exceptions for certain kinds of bullion,Gems,Stamps,Coins - (but there are exceptions for certain coins),Alcoholic beverages, andCertain other tangible personal property.

They are RTA so he'll have to assemble them.
