Not your own rehab at your own property.

Are you looking to "house hack", which is living in the property (or 1 of the units) for at least a year and then moving out and renting the unit?

Do you have investment properties already or are you just getting started? 

I can do the parade of horribles for a personally owned rental property but suffice it to say that it is a long and robust parade and the horribles are horrible.

Can you get access to the property in advance to verify the condition? 

I'd also think about your long term goals for the property.

It's always a good idea to start where you are because you understand the what's going on around you, and you can physically visit the neighborhoods, properties, etc.Answering these questions is the first place to start.

TLDR: Quicken (quickbook’s little brother) is super easy, cheap, and still overkill for someone with less than 20 properties.

Non Recourse Loans are the type of loan required when leveraging investment property within a self directed Solo 401K or Self Directed IRA.

With the down payment you're putting down (assuming it's at best 25%) with current interest rates, you're maybe going to be scraping a couple of backs cash flow on a Class C+ property.
