Having said that, please forgive me if I mistakenly misled you or provided false information :)It's a very bad idea to hold real estate in a self-directed IRA or any retirement plan (from tax saving perspective).

I personally think Airdna is filled with false information.

House prices in those areas are absolutely absurd.

Ram Jack jacks a post into the ground down to base rock or false base rock, or mud jack to establish base rock.

I was also long ago a distressed seller and I remember investors parading through making me feel like junk, then giving me false hope, and then making me feel terrible all over again. 

It was their false complaint that lead to the testing so let them pay the bill. 

You should not need to bribe tenants to live in your property or losing money due to a false savings.

However, they in my opinion have been way oversold by making pandering to people's desire (especially newbies) to be seen as a "big shot" with their own Corporation (silly and absurd yes, but very common).

What I see in the response of many of us who self-manage is the aftereffect of having experienced enough bad PMs to simply create own system that often functions at a lower cost, provides more consistent/reliable results, and (yes) accomplishes a similar goal of avoiding having to fix toilets at midnight.In short, let’s stop creating false dichotomies so we can get to the more interesting conversations around what your great PM, my great system, or your great VAs are doing for you, how you found them, and how you keep/support them. 

It makes you wonder how they can legally give you false information such as fake identification, pull a credit check (with fake info) and then prosecute.
