I've had full ride scholarships the whole way through and had passive income that paid for living expenses so I didn't have to use loans for school itself. instead, during undergrad, I used subsidized   (interest doesn't start accrue until 6 months after you graduate) loans at 3% to pay down the principal on a mortgage I had on my first rental property which was at 6%.

My guess is underestimating costs, either reno on the front end or the ongoing expenses.

As the real estate would be owned partially or completely by the IRA, all income or proceeds generated would go back to the IRA, same with expenses, the IRA would be responsible for those as well.If $75k is not enough to make a complete deal, you have other options:1.

So it sounds like it is one of those things that isn't nearly as expensive as people assume it would be , and it scares away potential buyers.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good, not expensive tree removal company?

Maybe there are less expensive contractors who do quality work but no idea how to find them.

Looking at listing may not need full rehab, new roof and water heater done, 3br in neighbor run 900 to 1000, rehab for low maintenance, try to buy as low as you can , look at comps, probably could go in as low as 38-42 with good agent and stress as is, maybe a few agents here to help, get one to give you good numbers not listing agent numbers , street is a nice one for area, not much back yard or parking but nice front, before you close make sure vacant  contingent, if numbers work I would do it, the are predicting an abundance of rentals avail next year with building craze but keeping expense low you should be safe, remember don't rehab as if you are living there, think durable and repaintable, number should go into systems and structure first, elect,heat,walls, windows,floors,plumbing, if you use a contractor go with one you know or work with someone in area to keep an eye on progress, good luck at least you know some of the history of the property

I think they're much more expensive and I've personally seen them overly aggressive in calling out defects that aren't really there.

You don't need a license at all to invest in real estate no matter what state you live in or the other states you invest in.You should using experienced local professionals in each state you do business in to get the job done right and keep you out of any legal trouble you may be worrying about.A license and all the training and expenses that goes with it is only necessary when you are representing other people as clients.
