Quote from @Lorraine Hadden: I have client who are try to wait for interest rates to come down rather than buying what they can afford for the best rate and hold.

My client recently purchased a 3/2 single family house for $160k that was near turnkey and already rented at $1900/month and in a very desirable residential neighborhood!

That's why I tell a lot of my clients that it's a perfect time to invest right now when you can still find the 1% rule and positive cash flow especially in properties here that are still 120-180k in purchase price.

Working with a qualified intermediary (QI) ensures compliance with IRS rules.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

Some custodians are really good but have higher fees, so using them if you have a low dollar account may not be the best move and vice versa. not specifc to ET, but as a GP, we have worked with most in regards to assisting clients get their investment coordinated.

Management would be self-managed, as in this example it would be a client's first rental buy and hold.

I have all kinds of specific searches set up for my investor clients to help find the best deals. 

If I have a homeowner client that wants to play games, I'll gladly help transition them to another manager.

But me and my clients have had great success with MTRs here in Temple, TX - its about the only thing cash flowing well in my market right now.
