It appears to offer the kind of solid, structured access to inventory, information, resources, training and hands-on guidance that I need as a newbie to more successfully implement the knowledge annavigate note investing than the 'bits and pieces' way I've been acquiring info so far.

Unfortunately, the best dog is a well-trained one with a responsible pet owner, which will be very difficult to insure now that you've okay'd them getting one mid-lease. 

Also, when you train tenants this will happen they come to expect it.

I have a different train of thought.

I guess for me I want to be reachable and I want to know what they are thinking, doing, or what's wrong at the residence, to avoid goofy problems.Most people are normal and have common sense, and therefore won't really need extensive training.

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

I $u$pect it will $train your ca$h re$erve$.

What makes a self-directed IRA custodian different is that they are not purely connected to the public exchanges and limited to investing in stocks, bonds and funds, but rather have the staff training and paperwork to document the IRA's investment in the more individualized transactions that occur when investing in real estate, notes and other non-traditional assets.
