Most lawyers will promise the world to get you to give them money up front in the form of a retainer.

Yeah there are gurus out there, that don't know their *** from a hole in the wall.

If you generally drive a 3 to 7 year old car as the most economical approach for you while not feeling like you need to wear a mask to retain your pride, you need to but a 3 year old car and trade it in 4 years for another 3 year old car.

Anyhow, here is the information I got from the company that does the insurance for my HOA:Unit Owners would purchase an HO6 policy (condominium unit owners) which will insure the cabinets,appliances, wall coverings,floor coverings as well as the unit owners personal possessions.The Association insures the buildings, drywall out.So it is my understanding the HOA will cover the roof and the exterior.

The writing is on the wall for an investor who wants to try and create an arbitrage on an FHA loan.  

Even if you clear out your property the walls are shared and the bugs just come back.

I own a property management company in Memphis and we are successful through communicating to our tenants and investors, addressing maintenance issues immediately, treating our tenants with respect (tenants may be rude to us, but that does not give us the right to be rude back), providing excellent customer service, hiring good people and paying them well so that I can retain quality talent, creating a positive work place where people want to come to work, having great marketing, adapting to the market changes, organized well and keeping investor cost low through managing our vendors closely and leveraging the amount of business we give them into significant discounts off retail.The only investors that I know that ended up in bankruptcy court were the $0 down investors who did not know what they were doing and figured real estate was buy a house, rent it out and cash the checks.  

These are tools that will retain the tax-sheltered status of the funds, but allow you greater investment choices, including real estate.All income will go to the plan.  

Nate,We offer some properties at 7.5 to start but you are right, pretty tight on NNN single-tenant commercial returns, but better than anything Wall Street and banks are offering. 

Going through a wall or through a crawl space isn't usually a huge deal.
