If your intent/interest is not in buy and hold and you find a better use for the funds by selling then explore that option.

Assess market trends, financing costs, and ROI for each option.

I added value to the deal by completing mid-level renovations that enhanced the property’s functionality and appeal, making it a desirable rental option in the area.

Hello I am trying to see how I can go about getting down payment funding on an investment property. any ideas or creative options?

Hi Elizabeth,Using a  self-directed IRA to invest in real estate can indeed be a viable option, but there are several important considerations to keep in mind. 

Real estate is certainly possible as a non-citizen, but it can involve added layers of complexity when managing from abroad.Best of luck as you navigate your options, and feel free to reach out with more questions!

You'll want to discuss those options with a real estate focused accountant for your personal situation.

Another great option would be Lakewood and they have a great school system. 

the septic needs to be replaced . it is a corroded metal container and I was told Leitchfield‘s should be replaced , as long as excavater is there already

@Francine Geike If the investment property doesn't seem to bring in enough cash flow to comfortablyprovide a return, a 1031 exchange might be a good option for you.
