@Anthony WienkeWell Covid is still here but I am back on track.

Sounds like you're on the right track but once you have a decent idea of what you wanna do and are educated on it I say jump right in.

You should bid what your analysis suggests is a great price for the property, keeping in mind that many of the multifamily properties in the Greater Philly area are converted older homes rather than purpose built multis, so often the utilities are co-mingled among units (water, heat, electric, gas etc), meaning you either would want to convert/separate them so tenants can pay their own, or ratio bill (which adds mores item to track and manage)

Also ask if they use a project management software to track allowances, budget, schedule, posting pictures and videos etc.

The current interest rates as attractive as they are wouldn't be a sufficient inducement for me to buy now, because I demand proven economics first and at these pricing levels that's quite a stretch in my opinion. 

Lastly, people mention that hard money lenders only finance people with a track record.

With an IRA, there can be no direct or indirect transactions or benefit between the IRA and a disqualified person.These programs are for one purpose, growing your tax-sheltered retirement savings in a more diversified fashion.If you are asking "How can I use my IRA to..." you are on the wrong track.
