Hi Gigi, glad to have you as a part of this awesome community!

If you achieved this by paying all cash, then you are losing money. 

I assume you did this to establish credibility and ingratiate yourself with others on this board. 

Every landlord in Chicago needs to watch this!

Does anyone know of a money market mutual fund or a fixed income fund that could be used for this purpose within my Equity Trust IRA? 

Without knowing stuff like this, all the answers provided are meaningless. 

For context, this would be for a property I already own.I understand this may be a bit unconventional and people will likely recommend I get a proper quote and have the contractor do a full walkthrough.

This is why I wanted to ask about it.

This is a great place to learn and to connect with people so take advantage of all the great resources.

It’s not necessarily more difficult than market-rate rentals, just different.If you’re seriously considering this route, feel free to reach out.
