I need a thorough and reputable home inspector that works in the area and that would be available to do some work early next week, December 8th or December 9th.

Depending on the location of the investment, one of us could manage it, or if out of the area, we would hire a reputable property manager.

@Ben PowellWelcome to the best real estate site on the web.  

Seller financing isn't dead, rent to own is dead.You can go to a lot of web sites and they may have in their terms of use some statement that they don't knowingly allow or contain anything that is illegal.

Always ask any prospective SD IRA custodian about their reputation and regulatory history.

The cons for me are having all of my eggs in one basket (building) and the fact the MFH's don't appreciate as quickly as SFH.For the Memphis properties I think the positives are a reputable company managing the rehabs and property mgmt (I have gotten references and confirmed).  

Most agents will be more than willing to credit a buyer in certain situations to keep a deal together with a good client say for example unforeseen repairs are needed and the buyer can't come up with additional funds... but if you're going to try to nickel and dime a reputable agent from the start as @James Wise says you'll spend more time wondering why you won't get a call back. 

Nice website by the way, did you do it yourself or hired a web designer?
