Landlord tenant law and fair housing is enough to get most new investors to think twice...plus unless you have access to PM tools like screening services, MLS and other rental marketing sites, vetted leases, vendors to handle repairs...you should let a professional handle it.  

I pay them via paypal, venmo, walmart2walmart or some other form of online payments as projects are completed.I have a solid buddy take my calls via a team phone service routed through multiple call systems and he also views houses while I'm gone for a split of the deal.

Those that reference IRA or 401k are the service providers that you're looking for.

My business partner and I have built what we think is an amazing team on the ground, but we'd love to connect and meet more people that invest and offer real estate services here.

As an IRA, a self-directed plan is the same as any other, just serviced differently to open up the possibility of the IRA investing in a broader array of assets than what is listed on the public exchanges.There are several types of providers, with different services. 

The only reason I would want to hold a property is if there is more potential to be met in the future and the IRR won't decline if we wait another year or more. 

Make sure it explicitly explains the process for termination if you are unhappy with their services, but especially if they violate the terms of your agreement.3.

However, I think that if you were to lock in a private-party loan to fund the second property, you could repay the debt service once your mortgage for property number one is issued in a couple of months.I'd be happy to hear your thoughts on the above. 

I should have added the servicer never showed up in court so judged ordered case closed.

Feel free send a PM if you ever want to talk further; our agent business focuses on working with investors for acquisitions, and we also have a full service Property Management company.
