If the original tenant wants to claim their belongings, they must pay any unpaid rent, plus the cost of moving and storage, then I will give them access to pick up their belongings.

They often have access to off-market properties which gives you less competition.

If they need access to the property immediately, you can offer to leave to them until you are ready to close. 

My recommendation would be to get approved as a Landlord, contact the director's office and request that an inspection be completed before a tenant is selected (sometimes they will do this as long as you select a tenant within 14 days - which you want anyways), and have an online application and screening resource in place.  

Talk to an attorney to access your risk. 

Real estate actually takes access to capital and/or credit. 

The benefits of Kissimmee for a newbie is analyzing property potential is very easy - you will have a ton of carbon-copy comps to look at and the online estimators like Airdna can actually be pretty accurate. 

In order to have checkbook control, the IRA account will need to be at a trust company that will allow the IRA to invest in an LLC (where you will be the manager and your IRA will be member - an as manager you will have checkbook access to the LLC bank account).

While it's true I don't necessarily trust the pricing software algo, I really like the ease of accessing the data.

I still wouldn't give people an all-access closet.
