How does a renovated property will perform in this depressed rental market?

Investment rates are beautiful again thank goodness!!

Hi Jean,Stock it with fish and have fun fishing all summer.Plant wild rice and maybe Ducks will show up--beautiful creatures to watch, and some people hunt them.Build a dock and toss in a small row boat....for romantic evening rides and something for the kids to play with.[1]>>> Have it tested for chemicals...some of these ponds have a years of farm runoff in them--pesticides and manure--it would be a shame if it's toxic.[2]>>> See if the sides go straight down (like a farmer scraped it out for whatever reason) and it would be dangerous vs. like a beach.Good Luck!

Which company was the provider, how long have you had the property, and how has it performed? 

But you can invest in a 506(b) along with other IRA investors that may lack the knowledge to perform adequate due diligence.To me, this is starting to look like black market investing for your retirement. 

Second, handling general contractors and holding them to cost, schedule, and performance.

Most states require a Real Estate license to perform those services while collecting fees or commissions, make sure to check the states statutes where this property is located.

@Ben S.First off, what a beautiful property!  

Make sure to advertise in all the available channels you can find so you can perform a true test.
