As an experiment I invested $30k each in the 10 REITs which had (according to average estimate of NAV) the largest discounts from net asset value as per market price).

Quote from @Basit Siddiqi: I personally would not buy real estate with a retirement account.There are just too many headaches that are not worth the potential increased return.Some headaches when it comes to investing in real estate with a retirement account1) LTV values are less and harder to find lenders.2) Potential to sell or partially distibute the property if you have to do a RMD(Required Minimum Distribution)3) If you run out of cash and have to make a major repair, you may be out of luck and have to sell.4) Having to potentially worry about UBTI(Unrelated Business Taxable Income)I would personally invest in stocks/bonds/notes with a retirement account.I buy deals with cash and use a ROTH SDIRA so there are no RMD's.I buy at huge discounts to retail.

Metro could have different rent growth projections, however, this is a great sign to see that the area as a whole is moving in a very positive direction.ConclusionBecause of D.C.’s typical recession resilience from the federal government and the large presence of big-name private sector companies in the area providing stable employment, it is very rare to have the opportunity to buy real estate at a discount.

The property seems to be in good shape and will requirecosmetic rehab.  5/3 house 2600 SQFTWe will need a new AC, Kitchen upgrade, bathroom upgrade, flooring, painting, andcarpet upstairs.  

(example - STR on the back end to increase cash flow)To me, forced apperception (BRRRR or buying at a discount) is a hedge against market corrections.

If there's room for a stand alone tub in the primary bathroom, install one.

@David To  Yes she has been paying me a discounted rate we agreed on in March.

They focus on finding deeply discounted deals and assigning contracts, which they feel doesn’t require a license in some states.6.

They were discounting my policy cost for no longer covering vehicles.  

We installed fresh flooring throughout, updated the bathroom, and gave the entire property a fresh coat of paint inside and out.
