Of course this isn't as applicable for IRA investments made in housing flips, but for those individuals investing in larger multifamily or commercial buy and hold RE investments, SDIRAs can help you gain exposure to direct real estate and realize superior cash flow returns relative to most other passive investments. 

I would go through your entire application verification process and make a decision based on your findings.

I simply put down 20% as the down payment with a 30 years mortgage to close the dealI spent a weekend to clean it up, lease it out, and multiple application came in within the 1st week on market. 

About me:I started to work as a sub in 2010 hanging, tape, mud, drywall and paint for extra cash during college.

Financially though, I think that multi-units have a lot more going for them.Tom - Do you think that Brandon Turner's "50% Rule of thumb" is applicable to Nanaimo?

So, ultimately the value of this land depends on the commercial application.

What follows is a specific example:New contract-for-deed legislation passed in the last session of the Minnesota Legislature empowers consumers to make more informed home purchase decisions, requiring disclosures by certain “serial” contract-for-deed sellers and amending the injunction statute as regards cancellation of contracts for deed.The 2013 Minnesota legislature has passed a new contract-for-deed disclosure statute applicable to sellers who frequently sell residential real estate on contracts for deed.

Let us know what the application fee, or the "lock in fee", or the "whatever scam name they call it fee" is.

My question is whether or not forms like a pet addendum, rental application, carbon monoxide/smoke detector acknowledgement etc. are state specific - I know the residential lease is subject to certain state regulations and will be asking an attorney about it.

You would need to see and confirm proper accounting of the contract balance and application of the payments.
