Had an issue with trying to self-permit a build a few years back that was an HPR but had an "A" and "B" designation.

I use Stessa to self manage 8 properties.

I moved all of her old retirement money into a self directed IRA/Solo 401K and started putting her money to work through real estate lends.

I signed up with them about 3 to 4 months ago, then found out how expensive the loan was to get going with them and told them that I would self finance it instead but they had to cancel the loan first...they use a company called Special Financing Company..the person I spoke to at REI his name is Paul, he said he would take care of canceling the loan, but a month later I realized that they were pulling $599 out of my bank account.

Quote from @Armell Mayers: Started out 4 years ago not knowing anything about Real Estate and have been self-taught till this day!! 

This client was transferred to me by another PM in our company because her portfolio is maxed out and she doesn't have capacity to take on more properties.This client had been self-managing a short-term SFR for the past several years and recently converted it to LTR.

Self financed How did you add value to the deal?

A HELOC is a great way for you to self-fund the improvements.

Self storage and country subdivision lots.  

Tax-wise, profits are taxed at your ordinary income rate, and frequent flips may subject you to self-employment tax if classified as a dealer by the IRS.
