On the two extremes, Schwab, my preferred broker, has no idea how to handle IRA LLCs or alternatives in IRAs, which is why I stumbled across the Checkbook IRA world when getting ready for my next PE investment.

If there are alternatives, there's no real benefit to you.

I've wondered how useful that really is, and you offer a compelling alternative. 

So if you have reliable estimates of $27k to make repairs, I would look for that number in a lower price, or, as an alternative, that money placed into escrow to fully fund repairs made by the contractor of your choosing. 

Also most multifamilies never show interior pictures on listing.Should I keep on trucking?

That is, if the stock market tanks again, I'd like to have an alternate source of income that is largely independent of that. 

I'm an attractive alternative to a cash partner who is going to steal 50% of the equity of deal, for providing the same level of service. 

I remembered something, opened the door to run back in, and then I returned to my truck and drive off without closing it.This was also a rare time when I did not return for 2 days, but when I came back nothing was touched.

If you have a local IKEA, they offer a cheap alternative.

Let the LO do their job of figuring out if it will fit the guidelines and where he or she thinks they can get some exceptions or alternative documents to complete the loan process.
