@Brandon P.I use a mix of things and still struggling to find the best solution.All the solution requires to have a mechanical lockbox with backup key at location for lockout or contractor.

Nice try, but this time does not count.In order to meet 750 hours, your wife will need one of the below:- do something else real estate related, like wholesaling or realtor- actively work on expanding your rental portfolio - have an extensive DIY rehab, like a month-long full-time rehab (and then she might need another kind of rehab)- a calamity such as multiple properties damaged in a storm where she will have to deal with insurers and contractors- something else out of the ordinaryAgain - if all you have is 9 single-family properties with stable tenants and typical occasional maintenance - you don't have enough work to collect 750 hours.

The side moral to this story - be in the plumbing business.

Another key change is making sure your contractor actually sticks to completion deadlines...why, because of how extremely tedious permit inspectors are getting in some cities, which can slow progress in and of itself.

You will have to source these properties from a wholesaler, where you will have to put down hard non refundable assignment money at the assignment of the contract, or source them yourself.The steps to follow for a subject 2 property are as follows:1.

We learned that contractors are hard to guard.

That said, you will find that many self-directed IRA custodians don't have the fully built pipes and plumbing to accommodate this.

I just paid my contractors liability insurance and it went up another 40%.

Once the interior was stripped and the infrastructure tested, I brought in commercial contractors to handle critical systems like plumbing, electrical, roofing, and HVAC installation.The house, built in the early 1900s, was originally a coal-burning residence.

There will be moments when challenges feel insurmountable—deals that fall apart, difficult contractors, financial struggles—but the only way to succeed is to persevere.
