., thanks for your response.

I personally invest in both markets myself. 

When that person said that, we realized how much power we had to negotiate terms that helped us reach our goals.You can't just take what's being offered when you negotiate.

I prefer to use in- house platform messaging for basic messages, and actually write personal messages for anything else.

Those responsibilities become HOA responsibilities.  

I personally have never seen that, but I’m only one person.

I have 3 properties in my personal name (to get best rates).

My response to that would be, "Yes, but do you realize the time, effort, and risk I am having to take to pull off this deal?"  

Make sure you have personally spoken with the tenant, maybe since you are new owner they don't know where or who to pay or paid the previous owner. 

Any 'investment' can act as a 'retirement'.Roth is great because it is tax freeI personally like real estate also becuase your cash flow is normally shielded by depreciation.I like real estate further because there is less complixities / restrictions when it comes to IRA such as the 5 year rule, year you have to take distributions, RMD, Unrelated Business Income Tax(UBIT).Your goal is to have the best return and the most money at the time of retirement, what is the best way to get there?
