Personally, I would start by diving into recently sold (6months) properties within a mile that share similar characteristics to your home.

Disqualified persons include your fiduciary and members of your family (spouse, ancestor, lineal descendant, and any spouse of a lineal descendant).The following are examples of prohibited transactions with a traditional IRA:Borrowing money from it.Selling property to it.Receiving unreasonable compensation for managing it.Using it as security for a loan.Buying property for personal use (present or future) with IRA funds.

Without getting too deep into my own personal financials, ill create a quick scenario. 

The listing agents hate it when I tell them I will present my buyer clients offer in person.

What’s more, doing a detailed market research, making a feasibility analysis, getting to know similar minded investors through networking are some of the ways that a person venturing into that field can avoid pitfalls.Good luck!

My wife and I were able to buy a SFH for our personal residence in 2022 and have since turned our focus on saving for our first investment property. 

This is what happened when I saw her in person. 

From the description of the duties that a broker will help you out with, it sounds like this is the type of person that I really need from the get go to help me get started out right.I'm thinking one of the first calls I make is to call one of these brokers, and develop a good relationship with a good broker.

Im happy to share any info I have based on my personal expierences along with my referl network.

According to the person doing the survey, one of my neighbors was about 3 feet inside of our property.
