Standard is for me is high end clients who want to improve their home and return the beauty into their ease style and comfort.

yea we have alot of money in low cost index funds as of now. they work great in between saving for a property with cash.I've though about leverage but between the p and I cap ex maitnance vacancy and all the other stuff it is cheaper to buy the condo with cash then up and sell it when I can buy the duplex. taxes are high here for homes on there own lot the condo is closer to 1 percent property taxes were as single family homes and duplexes and such are closer to 2 percent to 2.2 percent so that is a big reason why it makes more sense as of now.yea just this first duplex I want to pay cash for. after that I have no problem with leverage. but if we live in it it's gotta be paid for it creates a very stable rock so if the wind blows hard I am protected and have no worrysit really helps ease my anxiaty disorder and will prevent a stroke at a early age. a large reason as well is we cant qualify for a morgage that large.

I like the ease and simplicity of OOMFI.  

Matt, Thank you very much, this puts my mind at ease.

After all, I am new to this and easing into a fully rented four-plex is a good start!

Needless to say, this took the wind out of my sails.Considering I'm just learning the self directed funding processes, I'm wanting to learn what scenarios more seasoned SDIRA investors have pursued that might ease me into the use of my funds. 

We take advantage of modern PM software to ease the experience for Landlords so they can be as hand's off as they would like while still having all the information they need. 

You are definitely in the right place, and your analysis paralysis should ease as you get more comfortable with analyzing potential BRRRR deals.

By investing conservatively, in good middle class neighborhoods we never suffered much in losses and by not having loans our flexibility and ease of purchase (cash) and sales (seller financed) always went smoothly.

High marks across the board... options, cost, quality, time, ease, etc
