Custodian of SDIRA accounts needs our annual asset valuation for their tax purposes and I have received conflicting advise re: how to properly report.

The problem is I'm worried about buying this house from him because he has a fiduciary duty to get his client the highest price; but would it be proper/common to ask him if he'd be willing to find other properties for me and act as my real estate agent in a buying position? 

If done properly you will stand out in two ways 1) you will be a person of integrity and your word is very valuable in real estate investing 2) you will benefit from the law of reciprocity which means those you benefit will owe you. 

If the tenant fails to do so within 10 days’ time, you may initiate the eviction lawsuit.To begin the eviction lawsuit process, proper notice must be served on the tenant.

Over the long duration that you are invested though, you will reap the long term benefits of being in the market, as historically it gains about 10% per year.

Hopefully they'll be able to provide me the proper guidance where I could just fill in the pieces to their framework.

Your cash flow will increase steadily if you raise rents properly.

Your loss truly is limited to the amount you invest if it’s structured properly.

Whole process and intention of the Ordinance is not being followed properly.
