Make sure your leases are very detailed and protect you as the owner.When it comes to doing pre/post rental inspections, it's simply a must.

Its an embarrassment to the industry and they should be run out or fined for attempting to knowingly sell unsafe properties to unsuspecting consumers.Property inspectors are not always the best group either, but in this instance they discovered some real problems it sounds like...that's what they are paid to do...It's always best to do things right...it's your reputation on the line. 

Nothing against any of that as it's all necessary, but I don't seem to be able to locate a good group that is simply folks who want to learn, grow, and share ideas together.Does anyone know of any groups like that?

Also, I would proceed with caution on the willingness to pay for the transfer fee on the SDIRA, for many reasons, one of is simply the cost.Hope this helps.

I simply want to get things rolling and a condo that makes my housing expense tolerable by renting out the other room seems to be my best option at this point.

Keep driving your neighborhood, locate properties you like, and, if you have the opportunity, simply ask one of the tenants, "Who do you call when there's a problem".
