Question for you, or anyone else who might be reading:If a property consists of 6 total units, but is divided into two buildings (basically two triplex units on the same lot), can I get more traditional financing rates for such an acquisition, or will I still be in a position where it is looked at as being more than 4 units?  

I'm a very experienced REI and landlord, but have traditionally only invested in my home market,, Fort Worth.

It's the tradition that Johnson buys steak nachos for everyone.

@Christian PaulYour profile says 'new to the industry'.

The seminars I have gone to recommend transferring your traditional IRA funds to a Roth which costs you taxes now but shelters your profits in the Roth.

Option A: live with family for free until we have new job(s) locked down, then move into real estate once we have a salary for a traditional mortgageOption B: rent a cheap apartment in GR to get our bearings in the city while looking for jobs, and learning more about the REI/rental marketplace by living thereOption C: explore creative funding options to speed up the purchase of our first investment property, which will help fund the purchase of our own homeOption D: look for a 2-unit to live in, fix, and rent before we purchase a larger home? 

Have you ever had a pipe burst from freezing.For those of you installing PEX, do you run it using a manifold system or is it more of a traditional branch system?

They came to you because they didn't fit the traditional mold.

You can't do any of the things in a traditional wall street firm held IRA that you can't in a SD IRA.
