If IRA owns the property wouldn’t all rental income have to go directly into the IRA?  

With that being said we tend to see a lot of CA buyers relocate here for the lower cost of living including lower home values, property taxes, insurance, no state income tax, gas prices etc.

For investors, this can mean boosting rental income or increasing the property value significantly.

If so, and you can find time to start a side hustle that can generate some income (even if $100), you can rollover your pre-tax IRAs/401k into a self directed 401k.

@Andreas Mathews admirable, but make sure you do some research so you understand what a PM can make.Starting your own PMC business will require 75-150 doors to make a decent living, depending on gross rents and your fee structre.Working for a SFR PMC as a PM, will require a RE license and you usually get paid a percentage of the gross rents the portfolio of owners/properties you manage generates.

3 of my properties beat your CA gross rent!

In my case, all three sellers were older and tired of dealing with tenants, but they liked the steady income.

Phoenix contains a rare combination of elements that have created an outstanding market for distressed property investments, including the following:Cost Savings: Distressed properties are sold below their market value and enable investors to take hold of properties at a trifle compared to traditionally listed properties.Strong Market Fundamentals: Being among the fastest-growing cities in the country, Phoenix ensures a high demand in housing and rentals, hence good potential for resale or income from rentals.Value Creation Opportunities: Most distressed properties need renovations; thus, such situations present opportunities for investors to increase equity by adding value.Population and Economic Growth: Phoenix remains among those cities in the country which are attracting more and more residents and business; therefore, this presents good, long-term appreciation possibilities of property appreciation and income creation.Challenges to ConsiderWhile the rewards can be great, distressed property investment is not without its challenges.
