a couple of years.)

@Keith DowdyI see your name pop up in every Beech Mountain post for the last couple years.

The IRA has to be treated as completely separate from you.But lets say you have $200k in a IRA.

I've had pretty good success the last couple years with a combination of house hacking and building Accessory Dwelling Units.

I like umbrella because there is no worry of being pierced for inadequate separation of finances, if sued you have a heavy weight in your corner who has all the consequences of a defeat, and because usually it is reasonably priced (mine today is not so reasonably priced but I believe it is mostly related to the risks of CA).I do understand that the probability of needing the umbrella policy is low.  

I have done it a couple times myself.

Self management works if you are local and can separate emotion from business.

Those couple of little small stress cracks  in the wall you took a picture of as well as the hole in the door are easy fixes.   

I acquired a property couple years ago and did a BRRRR on it.

I'm an investor with a couple properties as well as a CPA.
