It may not be feasible to bill your tenants directly for common costs. 

One of the most common investments I see in SDIRAS is people lending money, secured by real estate. 

I studied note investing a few years back and noticed there are other avenues such as annuities and other types of paper that generate a form of cash flow.

What to look for, where to look and any way that I can check the condition of the slab prior to an official inspection.We will check into the condition of the soil (Clay, Sand etc.) and any noticeable wear and tear on the outside but prior to inspection, are there any red flags I could look for myself or any questions to ask?

Those 80/20 piggyback 100% loans were very common.

In the end, I noticed that the actual buyers never as this type of questions.

Today the selling realtor relisted the property on the MSL as 'Active' with no notice to us . 

Was doing our final walk-through of a duplex in Irving Park yesterday and there's a really strong, foul smell in the basement that wasn't as noticeable before.  

I noticed the LEED for homes green rater credential and was wondering if this would help be beneficial to my career as a future real estate investor (focusing on single family rentals in western michigan).Does anyone else have experience with LEED and this credential?

(I should add that we do not borrow money, so it will take a couple of years' worth of profit to save up to buy another property.)Good and very common question.
