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

I understand this is not a requirement, but I have never received a damaged unit from an inherited tenant or any legal issues.

Of course, growing has inherent risks involved.

I currently broker LIHTC multi-family for a large firm coast to coast and am also interested in MF in the Arizona submarkets as well, and will eventually invest on that scale - I just figure breaking into the state through SFH flips may be a more risk adverse way to understand the pros and cons to phoenix submarkets.

And your net worth will thank you.If you still want to go ahead, you'd be better off buying a house than an apartment because, while the value of the building itself will go to 0, you'll still have the value of the land, bearing in mind that the land might actually lose value too given the depopulation and the yen depreciation.Sorry if I'm pooping a party but make sure you understand what you're getting into (which you're already doing by asking the forum) and then make the decision that's right for you according to your objectives.

I would look for an experienced agent of my own who understands what is standard for your market.

Licensed in both Hawaii and Vermont at the moment, navigating acquisitions and depositions by collaborating the directions of my client with grounded professional understanding. 

The folks at VRBO can't seem to understand that. 

@Keetaek Hong I have a lot of clients who are facing the same challenges but they understand the long game and that it's imperative to build a portfolio, With that lowered interest rate I mentioned you are looking at 30% down and including PM fees will typically have you around break even or barely positively cash flowing.

You don't need to know everything to get started; you need a foundation to build on, and the rest will come through experience and then refining your education.You can build a basic understanding of investing in 3-6 months.
