Be careful of those sappy social workers who may try to talk you into keeping these tenants.

Rents are collected via social security and donations from non profits as these are elderly people, therefore the rent is paid timely- Thoughts?

@Fred CanzanoSelf-directed IRA accounts are a specialty service, not served by the mainstream brokerage houses.There are several types of account structures, and what will be best for you will depend a lot on variables such as the amount of capital, investment types, your employment status, etc.  

You brought up a good point on the fixed income - mainly through social security.

Update on the status, the seller is waiting to get in touch with the co-owner of some of his properties.

His social security and retirement funds are also off limits under Federal law.

It all started with me commenting on his FB status about pursuing owner financing and then went into a private message conversation where I realized he had potential free equity....but the margins and lack of credit made it something that wasn't really reasonable for HIM to profit from or buy the house without giving up that free equity to make up for his lack of credit, so it wasn't something I wanted to push him into.  

My questions are: Do I have to give my social security number to get them turned on?

Use facebook Craigslist and other real estate related groups on social media.I get very good response from these groups.

“Buyers are not just paying more for the same home; the mix of homes in the market is rapidly changing.”This is country-wide, but just imagine the rate it's happening at in Atlanta given the development, corporate success, announcements, cost of living, world class status, etc https://atlantaagentmagazine.com/2018/04/11/home-p...
