This seems like a lot of work to save 15% of $35k in taxes (Less than $5k.) especially if you have transfer taxes or title insurance, or you convert your long term 15% rate in to your son’s regular income tax bracket.I hate paying taxes as much as the next guy but this lemon isn’t worth squeezing.

When we show up to more events or talk to him on phone calls and webinars(regularly, like every week), he KNOWS who we are and can communicate with us in a manner I have NEVER experienced before.

I started investing in 2019, got my license in 2021 and was initially with a residential broker that was primarily focused on retail transactions (aka sales, purchases, leases, for regular end user folks). 

A Mastermind Group by my definition is a small, regular meeting of peers and is free!

I would look for a custodian who does not charge a fee based on your assets.I normally see the costs being A one time set-up fee along with an annual reoccuring fee.The thing you want when opening up an SDIRA is that the return that you will make with alternative investments will be greater than the fee that is charged to you for the SDIRA plus the return you would have likely gotten with a regular IRA.

Monitor and change when the house is vacant is the blessing.

I am asking because that is a science and often inhabited by regulars who know how to bid you up on the duds if you haven't done it.One tip I would give you before you go into Indiana would be to really take a hard look at your 7 units and 10 doors and see if there are any underperformers in the bunch.

However, be prepared for the properties to meet certain health and safety standards, as Section 8 housing requires regular inspections.5.

Just another thought, they do have submeters that can monitor the individual spots and you could charge back the total cost to the tenant if they are assigned spots. 

It's definitely worth investigating.Yes, you can install motion-sensor cameras to monitor vacant rentals, but they require some paid service to monitor remotely (wifi, hotspot, etc.)
