(CRMC).These are companies that have been audited by the National Association of Residential Property Managers and have demonstrated a high standard for both procedures and customer service.Again, I believe the best way to find a good property manager is to seek a property manager out and has invested in advanced training and education and has attained designations, usually they also have years of experience.Kevin

Maybe set up a couple of extra guidelines about contact procedures (i.e., not dropping by anytime)...You could even get economy of scale when you do maintenance--just build a gate (with lock) and run the lawn mower right over both lawns, clean both gutters on the same day, easy commute for turn arounds and showings...Who says you can't pick your neighbors (you potentially could!)...

Even moving bed frames and such across the hasn't produced any scratches that I can see.

I currently have about $35k in it, which would be more than enough to purchase a couple town homes by the local college that will produce good returns, and that's my plan for using the money.However, what I don't know is can you obtain a mortgage through a SD IRA?

My simplistic example above was just pointing to the fact that lower rents will give you greater physical occupancy and a greater pool of applicants to draw from; and thus better tenants in theory if your screening procedures are good.

www.GoFundMe.com I was thinking more a long the lines of something we can do ACTIVELY.I'd have to get with an attorney on this ... there should be a way to get the homeless person out from under this, possibly partner with them on turning something uninhabitable into an income producing property if it can be repaired and getting the homeless person off the streets and on track to a better life.

The numbers would not work on a 15-year note and producer Cashflow .

With the under market value rents it produces  $2050/mo ...If everything gets bumbped up, it would make $2350/month....however I'd live in a unit so it'd really make for me $1300/mo or $1500/mo if rents get raised. thanks in advance! 

When that same building is sold for a $2M profit 5-10 years from now, you receive a check for $100,000 (5% x $2M).In a 10-year time period, 1 big deal can produce a $170,000 profit with NO money invested, no management or time involvement so no weekends away from your family...and minimal stress.What if over that same 10 year period,  you've found just one BIG deal a year.
