I'm eager to learn about how to find and fund properties that help my family financially and my community with affordable/reasonable dwellings for young families and newlyweds.

Many people choose NOT to have this, because the administrator will then vet every investment you make to ensure you do not invalidate your IRA.Invalidating your IRA means that you've done a prohibited transaction and the entire account is then deemed as distributed to you.If you don't want checkbook control, then I recommend a plan administrator such as Equity Trust - www.trustetc.comIf you are sure that you're aware of all the rules around prohibited transactions and disqualified people (who you can and can't do business with), then a plan administrator like Sense Financial would be a good place to start talking.  

The best ideas are the ones that make financial sense.One opinion...hope this helps (and that you're warm in this crazy weather we're having here in Florida).Best.

If you really want to become financially independent, it's an all hands on deck, every strategy at once approach.

A turnover means repairs, painting, cleaning, marketing, vacancy time, and lost rent, so a small discount is often a better financial decision than churning tenants every year.There’s a lot more to consider, but these are some key lessons I’ve learned.

You need to look at all the financial numbers of the business/ hotel and owners won't release them until there is a contract in place.

If things goes the way I anticipate, Austin will be probably my 3rd largest position in size but primary financial position. 

@Martti Eckert here's the big issue that no one really talks about that you hopefully find helpful (this is copy & pasted):-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?
