@Jim G.Per the International Residential Code if the glazing is less then 60 inches vertically from a standing or walking surface then yes it’s required to be safety glass as it’s considered a hazardous area.  

This is a buy and hold in a great location in a great market Does anyone know of a group i can post this deal And last option we were considering was to use her cards to pay off my debt so then I can buy the house from her and get a loan on it If u made it this far thanks 🙂

I realize that I will need a W2 to make get a mortgage, so I was considering picking up a couple of part time, flexible jobs in order to hopefully acquire a new property as an STR.

I'll consider the strategy of pre-screening with Zillow and using mysmartmove with the final candidate!

@Louis Hamilton,If a HELOC doesn’t work, you might consider these options:1.

We’re considering whether to do mid-grade updates and rent it soon if we can find a good next property though acquisition and ongoing costs are a problem.

Would you consider it to be in an A, B, C, or D neighborhood?

In fact, approximately 40% of our business involves the Section 8 program.If you’re considering a property management partner, I’d be happy to discuss this further.

Many opt for other investing methods in their SDIRA like private lending, crypto, private equity...anything except collectibles and life insurance.Note that a Solo 401k is exempt from UBIT on leveraged real estate so if you have self employment activity and no full time employees save for you and your spouse you should consider the Solo K as an option. 

What kind of property are you considering, SF, 2-4 MF, or 5+ MF?
