Good lord.  50% property ownership interest, not just equity? 

You are able to self manage any units as a part owner but, once you start charging half of ownership for actual PM fees that may change. 

Great idea, if you are just doing part-time driving it could be much cheaper than car ownership.

Hi Chase,It's important to understand ownership in these situations. 

They can remain as-is, even if ownership is transferred, as long as you don't renovate them.

Most assets in self direction are hard assets-real estate, a note with real estate as collateral, ownership or interest in a private placement, physical precious metals, all of which are hard to dispose of by the Ira company and would raise flags fairly quickly.

Everyone and their grandma is buying these lists...and absentee ownership itself isn't a sign of distress either, most of them are just rentals. 

The system of layering entities and giving them ownership of different assets is a great way to protect assets in industries where there is likely to be lawsuits or other "disturbances."

-It's my job to get the repairs done as quickly as possible so I can close the deal-Have the buyer get involved in the repairs and upgrades because it's their house so that they can take mental and emotional ownership the more they are emotionally involved in making it "their home" the more copperative they'll be if any problems arise.

it's complete ownership of the property - just make sure it's a TOWN HOUSE and not a condo or worse - co op.each of these had different forms of ownership.
