Among his many attributes, he does a great job of really listening, identifying the true problem at hand, and providing good suggestions for solutions.

Patience is definitely an important attribute.

The idea is that once two properties are found that are identical to each other, with exception to a single element, be it the number of bedrooms or location or whatever element it happens to be, that the difference in price between the two properties can be attributed to the one differing element.So for example.

In addition, if you are self-employed with no full-time employees you may wish to consider opening a Solo 401k instead of a self-directed IRA as it has several advantages over an IRA LLC such as much higher contribution limits, direct checkbook control (i.e. no need to have the account at a specialty trust company), ability to take a 401k loan, exclusion from unrelated debt finance income tax with respect to investment in real estate acquired with non-recourse financing, etc.In addition, please note if you purchase debt-financed real estate with your IRA, unrelated debt finance income tax should apply to the income attributable to debt-financed real estate held by your IRA.

And it is a guess.I would take a look at the place you are looking at buying, then make a list of all the places that have similar attributes.

These include your experience in the specific business and in business in general; your business knowledge and acumen; your ability to make decisions under pressure; ability to manage other people; ability to handle demanding clients in highly volatile situations, marketing knowledge and ability, amount of capital, and of course luck.You’ve got to ask yourself if you really have the attributes to run a successful business.
