Quote from @Keith Groshans: My preferred investment in my SDIRA is mortgage notes.

I went to go to customer service and the whole website was gone and the company had disappeared taking my money and countless other people’s money with it.

He is my preferred lender, as well as, fellow investor  too.

They changed their policy promptly.It seems to me that some companies could use this as a tactic to scare customers from discussing what they feel to be their version of events. 

In France, they sell wine.They identified their customers (in your case, reliable tenants) and provided what they wanted to buy (rent).SummaryFollow this proven, step-by-step process to maximize your chances of success and minimize risk in real estate investing.Has this process proven successful?

While I’m open to both turn-key and fixer-upper properties, my preference leans slightly toward value-add opportunities where I can improve the property and increase equity or cash flow.That said, I’m also happy to consider turn-key options that provide immediate cash flow if they fit within my investment strategy.

I have some clients who prefer to have a PM for maintenance/contact/rent collection/general management and will place tenants and write leases for themselves in exchange for a reduced rate.  

Private lenders, like who I work with, prefer to lend to properties held under an LLC. 

Ask multiple people on and off BP (preferably people who are no biased). 

I understand the pros and cons of both so no real immediate preference.
