RA to the rescue ... of course these are extremes but it's about the principle... these are strategies that are not for everyone.

Sometimes the KISS Principle works - esp. for just 1 property. 

This is the golden principle for investing.

Quote from @Barrington Smith: Contractors that give free estimate in the Fort Lauderdale areaHey @Barrington Smith that’s going to be a somewhat tough task, and it comes back to basic principles of those who crush fields:-the guy who does great work often values his time a lot and won’t give a free estimate-the guy who is hurting for work often will.  

And at no fault of their own – cashflow is what they were SOLD on.Here's what I want you to understand about “buy and hold” residential real estate:Let’s use a single family home with a property value of $300,000Let’s use an initial loan amount of $240,000Let’s use an interest rate of 7.25%And I’m going to give you $150 of cash flow per monthUse a 5% appreciation amount for your propertyLet’s see what happens after 5 years:After 5 years…$150 of cash flow per month = $9,000Your mortgage has been paid down to $227,000 = $13,000Your property is now worth $382,000 = $82,000So that’s $9,000 of cash flow, $13,000 of principle buy down, and $82,000 of appreciation.

To play into this matter, the answer is due to the free market and the principle of supply and demand (Carlos' point).

@Megan Branson Buying sight unseen has a much higher risk component, especially if it is your first in the area (or with the current team members).

My father wants to use his SDIRA to provide a loan to the LLC him and I are equal partners in.The loan would provide the additional funds we require to purchase an investment property.The LLC would pay principle and interest at market rate to the SDIRA.Would this be considered a disqualified transaction? 

OR I would consider JVing with the new buyer to get my principle and small interest on the back end of the project. 

Even if you pay the note on time as a buyer of subject-to property, the bank would go against its standards and principles if it knew about the transaction and did not call the loan due.
