So I just signed contract for my very first investment property in the north philadelphia area near and around the temple university area.

I'm looking for C Class properties for BRRRR Oppurtunities, how can I determine which Class a property falls into? 

A lease has not been signed and I have $0 of the applicants.

But how do you determine what "good" cash flow is for self-storage?  

But how long does it take for the contract to be signed.

You'll need to determine your current DTI with the following formula: monthly income divided by 12, and multiply that by .45 (you'll really get a lenders attention by knowing this ahead of time, and come off much more professional). 

@Gina SmithThere are two types of services in the self-directed IRA realm, and your investment goals will determine which is best suited to your needs.Self-Directed IRA Custodians are processors. 

If they can let the note go for a nice discount i am certain the borrower would sign the deed over no questions asked.  

Also, 150 k income is a threshold to determine if you could deduct rental loss up to 25k.
