Zachary Kessler Strategies for second property
10 February 2025 | 9 replies
I work with a lot of househackers and they're typically on the 12 month cycle, rinse and repeat.While the proposition of acquiring an investment property outside of your market in a "landlord friendly" state may sound appealing, i would recommend you stay local for now and househack another couple of properties over the next few yearsย until you've got some more time / experience under your belt.you would need a management company to cover your property that is outside of your market which would not only take 8-10% of your gross it would also leave you a bit vulnerable to a property management company that you A.)know nothing about and B.)you won't have the experience or cashflow or proximity to deal with any headaches that may arise.i would recommend staying local and househacking your way along for now and then maybe hire a local property management company initially to work with your current/local properties to get a taste of what to expect if and when you begin investing outside of your market.

Lenders often require 30-40% down.Cash flow considerations โ€“ Since all expenses must be paid from your IRA, maintain liquidity to cover unexpected costs like repairs and vacancies.Rental properties vs. commercial deals โ€“ Residential rentals and commercial properties can both be great options, but keep in mind management complexity and income stability.Generally speaking, stay compliant โ€“ Avoid prohibited transactions, such as personally guaranteeing a loan, living in or personally managing a property, or transacting with disqualified persons (yourself, spouse, ascendants, or descendants).Diversify your portfolio โ€“ While syndications and real estate are great, consider mixing in other alternative assets like private lending, tax liens, or even notes for additional risk management.Work with the right custodian โ€“ Make sure your SDIRA custodian is well-versed in alternative investments and has experience handling syndications and non-recourse financing.If youโ€™re looking for specific lenders who offer non-recourse loans, Iโ€™d be happy to point you in the right direction.
