So naturally she is confused (I read this by coincidence). 

There could also be a change to the HOA by-laws eliminating the right to lease and alternatively if too many units are tenant occupied it could impact the warrantability of the financing which would be problematic if you wanted to sell the unit.

However, I have no idea how to choose from the remaining cities, it seems there are a lot of potential options:- Midwest - Michigan (ie: Grand Rapids) seems to have options, also seeing Columbus Ohio and Indianapolis coming up- Reno - I've seen mentioned several times on here- Pittsburgh / Philadelphia / Twin Cities - All mentioned as lower cost to get started, and seem to be experiencing growthI'd ideally like to find a place that has strong potential for future growth, a diversified economy, and I don't mind living in (being close to nature would be a plus). 

Most likely the state where the property is located is where lawsuits would be brought if they are something for personal injury like a trip and fall or something of that nature because the “cause of action” arose in that state.

Then when you have some sort of portfolio and your face and name goes around, you naturally will attract people who will want to work with you.

@Tyler Bushey nice try, those of us with oil are often a mile or miles from natural gas and propane is $$$ and even if you had gas if  you have one boiler it doesn't solve the problem. 

Naturally, Jerry has completely failed to disclose this.Third, as others have mentioned, there was no mention of any of the criteria he requires for the deals you find.Fourth, there is a place to ask questions on the webinar page, but of course none of the ones I ask (including the issues above) were actually answered.Fifth, they limited the window in which people would be "allowed" to buy their program to a whopping ten minutes, because that means that those are the "go-getters", and after all, since he doesn't have unlimited funds, of course he can only work with a few investors so it has to be those who are willing to bite so quickly.

Plus, the relationship-based nature of private lending can lead to more long-term, win-win partnerships.Banks definitely have their place for more traditional loans, but for many investors, the convenience of private lending outweighs the higher rates—especially when time is money!

Alternatively, you could explore house hacking with a multifamily duplex, where you live in one unit and rent out the others.

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.
