I do have an agent I know personally but she's only in the area at certain times of the year.Section 8 would be better than nothing.

It should be from someone who uses that person.

Are you looking to just put the money to work or looking to be personally involved in getting, rehabbing, and dispo of deals?

@Jerry Chilimidos I am not a CPA owever my understanding is any loans to your IRA can not be personally guaranteed.

The vast majority of contractors won't want to give bids on properties while under contract unless they have a relationship with that person from prior jobs.

For instance, do 2/2 properties typically have longer average stays, or are they more desirable?

I also have personal W2 income, if that matters.Is there a loan out there for a set-up like this at 15% down? 

Have met him personally a couple times and he is just a great guy all around. 

My personal goal is to build a rental protfolio, but I'm open to anything.Thanks in advance. 

For instance, said property manager manages maintenance issues, problems that arise during bookings, basically anything that needs a physical person at the property, while I manage the rest?
