Capital has always been a big hurdle for me but I do have about 20k saved up in a 401k and i wanted to see if anyone has done a self directed IRA to invest and what their thoughts and experience with it?

The bathrooms are probably a big hurdle too it is uncommon for a property to have 2bed 2bath units mist multifamily is going to be 2bed 1 bath and again people don't know how to enter data.

Although there have been small setbacks and hurdles, there has been nothing yet that we haven’t been able to overcome or are looking to plan around.

What I think is unreasonable is that they withheld the terms of the mortgage until after I had incurred costs.

My biggest hurdle with REOs is getting the bank to the closing table.

My point is that by and large most requests are not unreasonable and will ultimately benefit you.

Hello,My 1st post on BP, woohoo I'm over that hurdle. lol I am looking for a RE lawyer that is Investor friendly in the Clearwater/ Tampa/ St.

Your biggest hurdle is going to be finding one that makes sense.

However, I have been overcoming the hurdles of no capital by being creative.  

As @Wayne Brooks says, financing contingencies are common, however his terms for this in your case are not and are unreasonable for the reasons you point out.
