This includes numerous paperwork needed, such as special inspection certifications (who will do them), grading bonds, county sewer connection application, public works alley land dedication sign off, planning department sign off, fire department sign off, temp power pole permit application, etc.2.

@Wayne Brooks  I think Assumable went the way of the dodo bird years ago.. at least I have not seen one in for ever.I acutally did one in Napa CA when I moved there from Palo Alto.. but it was like pulling teeth.. but were else was I going to get into a Napa valley home for 5k down  LOL.. best move I ever made

The SLF Income Fund I (Bond) has been paying all interest on my multiple investments and has done so on time for each investment that I own. 

Had to pull teeth with the PM at the end of November to find out what was going on, and he finally ended up posting a 72 hour notice on 12/2.  

Sounds like a problem tenant, but if this is a hard to rent area or your lease doesn’t have teeth for that then you might want to work something out.

If I could do it again, I'd probably have gotten my license back in college and sharpened my teeth on regular retail single family homes or even leasing with KW (generally considered the easiest and lowest stakes real estate sales), and then gone to my current brokerage after graduating.

After struggling to find a job after graduation, I decided to go to work for my father's licensed, bonded, and insured plumbing business.

What makes a self-directed IRA custodian different is that they are not purely connected to the public exchanges and limited to investing in stocks, bonds and funds, but rather have the staff training and paperwork to document the IRA's investment in the more individualized transactions that occur when investing in real estate, notes and other non-traditional assets.

We are excited to cut our teeth on our first investment and we feel confident that we have the right Agent to get us there :-D Happy Hunting!

You can always have a zero-coupon bond but that has interest rate baked into it.
