No one is going to make you whole if those things are off.So - can you make a few trips there in person to get set up? 

You should be at 2-4 meetups a month to make the connections.How are you doing your repair costs and ARV valuation if you aren't sure how to dispo?

A nice 2-4 unit that will provide savings on the cost of your living expenses.

Dont know what condition the houses were or are in , but generally speaking , older homes that are "deals" cost more in repairs .  

They'll hook you up with high leverage, full term IO financing and will cover some of your planned renovation / capex costs.  

Costs $40, $50, $100 here and there.

Be sure to consult with a qualified tax professional to guide you through this and to help you understand the tax consequences in your particular situation. 3) You don't go to a broker to setup a self-directed IRA.

You said it cost more to transfer from personal to LLC after the sale. 

It means cheaper living costs, getting to know how to be a landlord, and having tenants.

@Noyessie HubertIf you plan to rehab all the units, if is more efficient and cost effective to do them at the same time.
