Property Management: Are you planning to self-manage or hire a property manager?

It's about self-management, however it's so much more than that.  

You can also sell them on sites like paperstac, debexpert or others as well as brokers like Mission Capital, Rams or Phoenix.Depending on quality of paper and interest rate will determine sales price - also I would say self servicing can have a negative impact on the sales price as the major players in the space are not fond of self servicing. 

Toby - getting your license for self representation of you're planning on doing a lot of deals is a good option.1) You have to hang your license with a broker unless you have a brokers license.

As for managing the property I am moving out of - the place I am moving to is only 15 mins down the road so I am planning to self manage for now. 

Is using a self-direct IRA to fund this venture a way to defer taxes until retirement ?

You would have to self-manage though, as paying a property manager will eat up most of your profits.

So I self-financed the first draw, thinking that it would help move the project along, but that proved to be a big mistake because Delta stopped responding to me after that. 

And I wouldn't expect them to, it's a self inflicted thing.
