I always felt I could acquire a report from some real estate data company and I would have a better feel for prices and vacancies, but I can't seem to find a service that readily provides this information.

I'm an investor, developer and commercial agent who can help you acquire, renovate, lease and maintain your properties in KC.

I acquired the business in January 2019 and the previous owner had a lease agreement through April 2021. 

Courts are the process to remedy situations like this, so Brie 100% handled this correctly. 

We just acquired a 6 unit building on a half-acre lot, in an awesome location.

Hey @Wilson Linder - it's been said a few times, but it comes down to how much you value time.After acquiring a few properties myself, I pivoted to the multifamily syndication world as a passive investor for a couple of deals.

In addition, if you are self-employed with no full-time employees you may wish to consider opening a Solo 401k instead of a self-directed IRA as it has several advantages over an IRA LLC such as much higher contribution limits, direct checkbook control (i.e. no need to have the account at a specialty trust company), ability to take a 401k loan, exclusion from unrelated debt finance income tax with respect to investment in real estate acquired with non-recourse financing, etc.In addition, please note if you purchase debt-financed real estate with your IRA, unrelated debt finance income tax should apply to the income attributable to debt-financed real estate held by your IRA.

That way I would acquire the deal and get most of the acquisition price back immediately.

Based on those numbers you are better off flipping it as lightly as possible, but making sure to remedy all the issues.

I am planning to acquire my first property within the next 6 or so months.
