As a side note typically I do not use my deferred tax dollars to invest in traditional real estate as the benefits (depreciation etc) are all lost when using a self directed IRA - My guess is build to rent will provide little to no cash flow to build the account - it will all be locked in the property. 

We will do the reno typically a week.

How attorney fees typically work in these cases (e.g., hourly, contingency, flat fee)?

Larger homes typically command higher prices.4.

The typical rule of thumb which works well is GROSS monthly income at least 3x the rent.
