Once you have significant capital in qualified retirement funds that you can actually do things like hard money lending or buying properties, then a self-directed plan makes sense.

She actually screamed at my father in front of other tenants a few days ago. 

You need to be sure the home is actually live able/occupied though or you may have bought yourself a  rehab project and there is often a redemption period so you don't want to be rehabbing a trailer on a property that someone can redeem.

Actually close on the deals then put them on the mls.

That said, I recently turned over a unit with a tenant inside, because my tenant was very clean, had decorated beautifully, and kept the place spotless, and I think her decor actually helped the process, and she was amenable to the process because she had bought a house and was moving to her first home. 

When it came time to actually buy the property we ran into a road block.

So, in a lease/agreement you would list that renters must have renters insurance, but it's really up to their discretion to actually get it?

Either  1) you will get no loan whatsoever, or 2) It is some BS combination of "trade accounts" credit.....Office Depot, Home Depot, and other misc useless businesses......Not a cash line of credit.Once you qualify for any kind of business line of credit, there will be No upfront fee, and more importantly it will be because you have established an Actual ongoing business that shows a profit, and consistent revenues over a few years.Time to turn on your BS detector.

I actually contacted wells fargo and the lender seemed very helpful.

I am looking to rent a place, it seems nice except three thingsthey are ranch style apartments. they have a gate in front of the main entrance, and you're responsible for the door if anything happens to it. for some reason they won't fix it. it actually looks like this but a wooden door in front of the main doorif i take the door down, how concerned should I be about people stealing stuff. if i had a lawn mower or something, they would have to come in the opening and take stuffi saw a report online about some guy that was looking in someones windows at the complex across the street. i dont know how long ago it was. i was looking online again but coudlnt find it. the one im staying at seems fine, how concerned should I be able the ones across from me?
