The house is oriented with minimal windows on the south and west, and lots of glass on the east and north.

So whatever you can do to minimize your exposure would be best IMO.

Sorry for the severe delay- and THANK YOU for your response.

You are better off leaning towards a turn-key property, and with proper due diligence will carry very little risk and minimize the amount of time (and stress) involved compared to fixing a distressed property from afar.There are far too many questions left unanswered in your question above, and $7,000 leaves me very suspicious.Good luck!

If you delay signing a contract until you have verified all of the facts, you will only be left with those deals no one else wants.

Is it possible to take only a portion of the property out of the SD IRA each year to minimize the tax implications?

Insurance shouldn't be too big of a hit compared to mortgage and taxes, but there will also be at least some utilities on your end as well even if it's minimal.

If not thats okay, i just created this account with my personal email and have since seperated those accounts from my business, and just want to minimize confusion for people.

I want to get systems in place and to minimize my actual hands on and babysitting of other that go with an actual JOB.I want to get to the point in the next few years (under 3) that I have the luxury, if I want, to surprise my son and pick him up from school.To be able to go back to Maui for a few weeks if I wish.To help other motivate and guide others that have no idea that they dont have to bust their butts from sun up to sun down just to get a paycheck and make it to the next.To spend time with family even if it is sitting at the table and playing a card game.I could go on forever, my point is my reason is to be able to enjoy life before it is gone.What is your reason why you invest in Real Estate?

Not to mention minimize the bumps along the way.Good luck vs OSU this Saturday.
