As far as red flags, if you don't seem serious/ready that will turn some agents away.

I believe that if you reverse the screws that turn the 'wings' they will just drop off....then you can pull the boxes out and replace them after doing your wiring.

Previously though most of the MTRs stayed 3-6 months, so we've averaged about 3 turns per year, with about 1 week between tenants. 

I sold 2 properties that were taking up a lot of my time and were producing very little of my cash flow.2.

Buying a turn key rental, in an area you know or knew well, with a property manager you've met and trust, in an area that is large enough for you to have other options to find contractors and property managers? 

Initially my thought process was having them fill out an application through Zillow before touring the property, but I could see how that can turn people off to come to the showing.

This felt like they were turning me into their money-making machine.If they’re charging $10K upfront, plus $200 per month, and taking 50% of the profits, why aren’t they putting in 50% of the work or covering 50% of the down payment?

Did you lie to the mortgage co and produce a “bogus” lease in order to obtain financing?  

All rents you get from this property has to go back into the SDIRA but if you get a 20 year mortgage (that the rent can cover) and can pay the rental off by age 65 you will have turned that $90K into several hundred thousand’s of paid off real estate.

And what is your price point and are you looking for turn-key properties or something along the lines of a "fixer upper"?
