Here is my list of the most dangerous real estate related investments for the “non professional” investor lacking direct knowledge  and experience in these investments 1.

@Clarissa Zimmermann I usually direct my clients rent.app

Start with Reonomy or Costar to identify all the 100+ units in your target market (on and off market) and then see if you can get into direct contact with some owners.

Feel free to connect directly. 

@Matthew Drouin and many others have good success with direct mail. 

Since we have been moving to the larger commercial senior living community properties, she is directing the transition to our systems and evaluating their leadership to determine if they will fit well with us. 

SMS, Direct mail, facebook ads? 

Due to the confusion on their end and their slow response, it's costing me more money than if I just went directly with the vendor from the start.

Depending on the loan product, you may be able to exclude business debt once the business has paid the debt directly for 12 months.The income and losses related to the operation of the entity will affect the income side of your DTI (like Jay explained) if you own 25% or more of the entity.

Using a self-directed IRA (SDIRA) to invest in real estate can be a great way to grow your portfolio.
