The only members I've found with multiple deals are his partners who were already successful, just like Pace, and they use the newbies to help generate more deals.

Tyler local, so sparked my interest whenever I see anyone post about the area.Given that your duplex is fully paid off and generating a steady cash flow of $1400 per month, it's understandable that you're having second thoughts about selling it.

I was interested in something like owning a rental property as a way to generate some additional income. 

The answer was no they don't generate the mortgage nope they don't research the deed or title, and nope they don't prepare the closing documents so what part do they do ya I'm not sure why you need them either. 

Generational Wealth: If your SDIRA invests in real estate, those assets can pass to your heirs, benefiting from the step-up in basis (outside the SDIRA) or continued tax-advantaged growth if inherited in a beneficiary IRA.

I may try a few more "flips" just for fun, but I also have money invested in Groundfloor, Fundrise, and other income-generating investments to compare (and those ones I spend little to no time on). 

@Ricky RigsbeeI got the analyzer and it does a good job assisting you with your underwriting and the different scenarios you can generate for comparison.

regarding roofs  pray for hail storms and then replace .. in those type assets that are really priced for cash flow.. values will rise only when rents rise.. as non of them will ever go owner occ.. at least that is generally what happens with this type of housing.. the value play is the tenant pays off your home and your home generates enough cash flow to break even at best and feed it a little bit over time.. then at the end of your mortgage term 30 years you now have say 2 mil of paid for assets the real money is made on these assets cash flow wise ONLY if you pay cash IMHO

either payoff debt like you said or invest in other asset class that's perhaps more CF generating than apartment complex such self-storage/industrial or MHP.

I can’t imagine the returns you would have to generate. 22% federal tax, plus 8% state tax, plus 10% penalty.
