The last I checked (several years ago), only 5% of all retirement accounts are self directed but in the Information Age, more and more are becoming aware.On the other side, I have been a borrower of private Investor funds with many using self directed accounts and I can assure you that some of the advice above recommending the timing of your custodian is crucial is absolutely correct.

That city has the potential to grow due a rich city next to it is growing aggressively fast, but at this current moment the city is not in a great financial situation.The property is a 6 units apt building in decent shape.

Rental properties has caught my eye as I want to  grow a passive income stream.

I know my audience values growing their wealth safely, so I create content that shows how we do that.

Unless you're over the age of 50 and plan to retire soon.

When it grows enough, I will slap it against my next 6% mortgage and pay off another one.

I used to use $30/foot as a decent ballpark figure for renovations, but it seems like renovation costs have gone up quite a bit, $40-50/ft has been the new reality lately, but of course it's tough to put a 'per-foot' number on any particular project because everything is unique.Mobiles on their own land can be flipped, just pay attention to the age, anything before 1976 will pretty much have to be sold on a contract or to a cash buyer.

Would love to connect and see if we can do some business together.Are you looking to grow a rental property portfolio or do value add projects in Cleveland? 

Of which both sides will be renovated and ready for tenants in the next few months.We're ready for our next property and would like to do one more hack before buying pure investment from the onset.I don't want to kill our cash cow, but I can't ignore the fact that selling at a peak could put us in a position to grow our cash cow heard.What are your thoughts?

How many just used bigger pockets and local REIA to help you grow?
