I had one person who moved in and wanted a ramp installed after the fact to minimize the bump from the road to the driveway. 

The size of the lumber used, pitch of the roof, setbacks to property lines etc.

I've done bandit sign campaigns and usually get minimal response.

@Michael Hayworth ...Well, it seems you had to learn this particular lesson the hard way, rather than having read it already on BP so that you wouldn't have had to learn it via your having to experience this yourself.The lesson: there are a number of reasons why using an agent to perform tenant selection can be detrimental to the landlord.The incentive structure for realtor tenant placement isn't aligned with best outcome for the landlord; the commission is the same whether one or five or fifty prospective tenants are evaluated - expect the agent to do the minimal effort since that still gets them paid the same.The lease an agent uses will be the standard lease that agents use; usually that lease is more concerned with protecting the agent rather than protecting the landlord.

They help you buy, rehab, and rent out your properties with minimal time needed.

It will be all of ours first home.We’re very friendly with the seller and both parties are interested in a deal that puts more money in the seller’s bank account, monthly and saves us buyers in the long term (ie: minimize taxes on the sellers side and minimizes loan interest paid on the buyer’s side as well as frees up down payment to be used on improvements)Seller will consider a “0 down, 0% interest loan” with a higher sale price (let’s say, $1.6M).Initial Points of Consideration Could the seller sell it to us at a “loss” so that no capital gains are owed on his and then we gift the seller our monthly payments ($5k/month for ~27 years) - so that no income tax is owed (being 4 owners, we could gift the seller ~$60k/year)?

What are the up and coming markets that are good for cash flow with minimal downside to property value? 

Thousands of businesses are funded with this approach each year, so it's pretty popular.Two pluses:(1) The C-Corp can potentially borrow, using the assets that were transferred to the C-Corp from the 401k as collateral, and with your mother and/or yourself providing a personal guaranty.(2) Your C-Corp won't incur the punitive UBIT tax that your SDIRA or SD401k would face engaging in an active business such as flipping.A negative with any C-Corp is the potential for double taxation, but there are several ways to minimize this.

There are better appreciation investments where you can minimize your risks and get in and out faster than a new development. 

My credit score is perfect, and I have no debt along with minimal expenses.If all goes well - I also plan to take out a Home Equity loan on my parent's house, since it is also all paid off and worth roughly 7-800K.
