Jim you keep doing these post like this and NO ONE is going to buy rentals ever again LOLbut seriously I like that you balance out all the blue sky and bring reality to the equation.buying rentals is not a set it and forget investment no matter what.can be with really special A class to strong B class but no way with blue collar 800 to 1000 dollar tenants.. don't care where how or what.. they are all people. some are pigs some are clean and neat some in the middle and you can't tell with an application .I suspect if you took the time to go check out their automobile before you rented to them.. or did a sneak pop in on where they are living now before they move into yours you might catch the pigs before they move into your freshly rehabbed home.

@Jason Lee described my experience pretty well- I didn’t join a brokerage, and honestly, I’m lousy at self-promotion.  

It is a few hours north of me..but still close enough that I would probably self manage.

Fairly straightforward process like a conventional application.

Inside it contains a copy of the quitclaim deed with a post-it attached to it.

Essentially they become an investor in a larger property (multi-family, self storage, etc), receiving a preferred return every month with ZERO action required while still staying exposed to the real estate market.

At present im self employed in an IT business where I make decent income, but its all dependent on contracts.

Score 620, 20% conventional, asylum application, only one FY17 tax return, good income.

In all of these cases, the audits were very, very thorough and the details came out.There are so many ways to make lots of money in IRA’s & other self-directed accounts.

Great rates and application process.
