To be honest I think the real people who know what they are doing and loving it give the information for free, and nothing but respect for guys like you.

As they got older they were less tolerant and tested more- not always being respectful of the no play zone.

okay i understand. its a code of ethics and respect. will the listing agent make your offer to the seller?

At the same time he should show respect to you, if the place is not under contract he should want to show it to as many people as possible.

I do the same for my rentals too.Kind of a pain to fit it in with everything - while keeping visits for maintenance to a minimum as to respect the tenants' privacy.

I have a great deal of respect for you, however your hair trigger judgment is something I do not want to emulate.

In addition, if you are self-employed with no full-time employees you may wish to consider opening a Solo 401k instead of a self-directed IRA as it has several advantages over an IRA LLC such as much higher contribution limits, direct checkbook control (i.e. no need to have the account at a specialty trust company), ability to take a 401k loan, exclusion from unrelated debt finance income tax with respect to investment in real estate acquired with non-recourse financing, etc.In addition, please note if you purchase debt-financed real estate with your IRA, unrelated debt finance income tax should apply to the income attributable to debt-financed real estate held by your IRA.

With respect to showing units we have traditionally set aside blocks of times - say two or three evenings and a Saturday or Sunday afternoon.

With respect to your second question, is your state a non-recourse state?

Flippers like you have earned my respect by adding real values to homes, unlike your counter part in China, who just uses a large amount of money to push up the home price in an entire area and then sell.
