This InvestorLift requires an upfront $5k non refundable and looks to me like there is no option for inspections....curious what others take on this site is.Thank you in advance, I'm fully committed and learning daily...love this site and it's members

I am considering two options for purchasing a A+++ SFR cash, Option 1 to place in a self directed IRA and let the IRA own the property and Option 2 is to buy in cash upfront and pay the taxes owed.I am 62 years old and have another five to seven years prior to retirement and so I am trying to set up my portfolio for income generation by that time.

Although i have positive equity and the value of the house went up I’m breaking even with no cash flow.

I am interested in learning about my rights and options as a landlord to terminate my tenant's lease in preparation for putting my property up for sale.

I was wondering if I should use my own money or maybe use the rental equity instead... or there's even a better option.

Have some options for you..

@Wayne Kennoff- thanks   1) getting a personal referral is a good place to start 2) if you have narrowed down the options to a few -  contact both on the same  days and ask them for whatever  quotes  for your scenario ...ask for a loan cost worksheet  if  possible .  ...if their pricing ends up being  the same - make a decsion based on the  feel  for  cutoner  service you get when communicating with them.   3)  make sure they  disclose all the fees  related to the  refinance  ( not just their  own fees ) ..4)  reviews are   hard to  use to make a decision ( as you found out ) 5) rates are pretty high right now for rental  properties ....if you can wait to  refinance - you might consider doing so ...if you need to refinance - so be it ...Good luck 

What is the difference between what you just sent me above and your $127 basic option?

@Brandon JusticeIt sounds like you have a good business plan to move it forward into cash flow positive.  

I just want to be able to rent my property out and have the option to enjoy it as a vacation home as well.
