How throughly do you physically inspect properties that you arent able to gain access to the interior?

2 of my sister-in-laws have that - a teacher and physical therapist.One nasty thing about student loans is how they look on your credit report.  

If rent is not paid physically at a branch (i.e. it is paid online or via bank transfer), the date of payment will be considered the date when funds reach our account.

@Colin EasterbrookThe pros include the following:A way to diversify outside of the stock market.Real estate is a physical asset so it generally won't disappear like a stock.All rental income flows back to the IRA so it could be a steady way to grow your retirement account.

Im currently shifting from a buy and hold to flipping and trying to create a physical filing system.

If the website doesn't support it, then you actually need to go into the tax assessor's office physically and get it in person.Word of caution: oftentimes the contact information is out-dated / incorrect / missing and you'll have to skiptrace the owners.

Maybe not necessarily physical structure related (but I'll take those too) - maybe just a hiccup along the way that you didn't consider thinking about, just so I have expectations/preparations.
