@Tandi H.Hi Tandi,What about calling the PD and reporting the drawers stolen based upon the value of having a contractor replace the cabinets with comparables, including new counter tops, and sink hookups? 

Self-directed IRA A Solo 401k has several advantages as compared to a Self-Directed IRA including the following which specifically apply to your situation: Unlike a Self-directed IRA, you can have the account for the Solo 401k at a bank or brokerage that does not charge maintenance fees and where you will have checkbook control.Unlike a Self-directed IRA, if you use leverage (which must be non-recourse financing in either case) to acquire real estate with your Solo 401k the income will not be subject to Unrelated Debt Finance Income taxGeneral Considerations Re Investing Retirement Funds in Real Estate:1.

Account Closed It makes complete sense that the guy with less overhead and presumably less employees would be able to charge less for a similar job as compared to the 2nd guy who has a big company, more employees, more overhead. 

@Mike D'Arrigo I wouldn't say the Memphis market has high operating cost, certainly not compared to Jersey here.

Hi John,Markets change and you can't compare what people got in the past. 

@Pedro RodriguezThey're not the same and they really shouldn't be compared.

Such as tax preparers, sandwich shops, etc.... that will really suffer if traffic volume dries up.If this is his thought on this, it comes down to preserving the "Asset Value" of the shopping center through tenant mix.Storage units seem to be low volume traffic draws compared to a Home Depot or something like that.

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

For those who invest in notes, the number of notes for sale has been limited compared to the number of contracts for deeds (aka land contracts, an agreement for deed, CFD's etc) I see on the market.I know some investors shy away from them because they are lower priced assets and have a higher risk.

Sometimes I am looking at a house, ask the realtor to check comparable sales in the area and I get a response saying sold conditionally.Man, is it ever tough.
