If I go with Wynd, they charge $15/mo by device and they recommend one per room.

@Stephen Hood your idea is solid and shows good potential, but here are a few things to consider:Private Lender Terms: Ensure the lender agrees to the 1% origination fee and $2K monthly payments—some may require a higher interest rate or balloon payment at the end.Timeline for Sale: Factor in potential delays with selling your current property or completing renovations on the new one, as these could impact your refinance timeline.Refinance Feasibility: Confirm with lenders that refinancing at $500K is realistic, especially after recent rate increases and appraisal expectations.Exit Plan: Have a backup plan in case the market shifts or repairs take longer than expected, such as extending the private loan or bridging with a HELOC.If you can lock in favorable private loan terms and stay realistic about costs and timelines, this could work well.

Also if they do accpet appilcations you need to have experience in BPO's and have all your ducks in a row to start listing, i.e. e&o insurance, licnese information vendors you are going to work with to change locks, trashout and property preservation.

@Brad Herb Investing in a syndication via a Self-Directed IRA (SDIRA) offers tax advantages but comes with fees and limitations:Advantages:Tax Benefits: Gains grow tax-deferred (Traditional SDIRA) or tax-free (Roth SDIRA).Avoid Penalties: Keeps funds in the IRA, avoiding early withdrawal penalties.Diversification: Adds real estate syndications to your retirement portfolio.Disadvantages:Fees: Setup, custodian, and administrative fees can reduce returns.UBIT: If the syndication uses debt, income may be subject to Unrelated Business Income Tax (UBIT).Complexity: Strict rules; all income/expenses must flow through the SDIRA.Illiquidity: Syndications are long-term, locking up funds.Use an SDIRA if the investment is significant and the UBIT impact is minimal, especially with a Roth SDIRA for tax-free growth.Remember that RE, outside of retirement accounts, provides the biggest tax benefits.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

I make sure that I try not to spend time moving appliances or changing locks.

We started using TTL Locks for room rentals and entrance doors. 

So they can access the funds   Otherwise the assets will be locked in probate.  

You want to get a countersigned contract now with a closing date in February to lock it up.

While the property has good cash flow now, locking in your gains and reinvesting could be beneficial in the long run.

In your case, the agent also wants to lock you into a future sale, but that doesn't incentivize her to place a good tenant.
