I still think syndication investing is fine within a self directed Roth IRA (or traditional IRA).The hold time on a syndication may only average about 5 years, which means when investing outside a syndication you are usually recapturing that depreciation anyways at a time you cannot choose/control as a limited partner.

Beneficiary would receive current balance at time of death IAW Roth IRA rules.All sounds good but I’m not familiar with Athene’s possibly non stock investment vehicles.  

There is a lot more paperwork for these traditional mortgages and they will probably take 2-4 weeks longer, but you could save quite a bit in fees and rate.Otherwise, DSCR or a commercial loan is the way to go.You may be engaging in overkill if this is your first property and you are trying to put it into an LLC.

The above link is a property that I found in my local and believe it might be a good first start into the real estate industry. 

I would expect that to happen.. you eat the time but should not eat the cost of the fix. 

Are there areas you do not want to invest in because of travel time, lack of a network, or other life factors? 

During the pandemic, I was living in NYC paying $2000/ rent, and decided it was time to follow in my parent's footsteps and start to build some serious wealth rather than paying someone else's mortgage.

New to all of this and I am looking in to buying a duplex in the Portland area as my first rental property.

The last time I went through tenant applications it was a paper/pencil situation.
