Personally I prefer single family homes around that median price because that's where the most demand will be not only for owner occupants but renters as well.

Personally, I do not like any strategy or approach that aims to benefit from the misfortune of others.

Hi Aaron,It's always challenging when companies go through transitions like this, especially when it involves something as personal and critical as managing retirement accounts.

I was planning on building the home in the traditional stick built style in my budget but am wondering if doing prefab may save some money/have other benefits.

Keep in mind, you can’t use personal funds or your home's equity to directly fund the SDIRA investment, and all property expenses must be paid from the IRA.

To answer your question directly: a person should apply (whatever that means in your process) before being asked to screen.

Just curious do you find that accessing county records online through the county clerk website works just as well as going in person?

Your IRA can borrow, but you have to be careful to not personally guarantee it.

Personally, in this market, I would work on saving up and really doing my best to find a great opportunity and pull the trigger then.
