This depends on the lender and what is charged in the orig fee.

This is part of the game.

Quote from @Audris Tien: Hi @Deb, just wondering what self-directed IRA firm you are using to do this for private lending?

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

@Brody Veilleuxi'd go to the market in person and walk around.i'm being serious - no app can give you a feel for it in person.hope this helps

I think this would make sense in the long run for the rental property as it will extend the life of everything it touches like the Sink, faucets, showers, water heater, dishwasher, and Clothes washer while also providing clean drinking water in addition to the reverse osmosis drinking water system I already have installed.The main problem with this hardness level is that we get a major deposit buildup on all of these items, which will eventually clog up the faucets for tenants and lead to rusty shower enclosures that take forever to clean.In addition to this, it looks like we could likely have the salt added every couple of months by the property managers in addition to that it would allow for a quick inspection from them, and then also we would instead bill the cost of the service onto the ledger for the tenants.For reference, it does not look like the landlords in the area have water softeners.Thank you everyone for your input ahead of time.

Devin,Thank you so much for the info, I will look into this.

You only need a place to track tenant information, payment history, maintenance, etc.

I know this can be expensive.
