This is similar in concept to commercial loans with DSCR - "does the property service its own recurring expenses with money to spare?"

We're looking to build recurring income and long term wealth, so I think that may be a good way to go.

Also noticing a trend for the regular recurring sponsors to form funds now as it was getting to be a hassle to raise for each project.

@Mark Hower Monthly Recurring Revenue

Short answer- Commerical value is normally  based on the Net income a property can produce,   which means increasing the rent and/or significantly reducing recurring expenses.  

There should be no "takeover" and need for anything to be flagged.One of the recurring themes you will see with regard to self directed retirement account compliance is keeping a clear separation between yourself/your business and your retirement account.

I'm of the "buy and hold" mindset right now and I'd like to find a couple small multi-unit rental properties in the Great Lakes Bay Region of Michigan to begin building up some steady, recurring revenue. 

The IRC 1031 exchange allows you to use all the proceeds less non-recurring closing costs to purchase the replacement property.

Depending on volume of homes you project seeing, cost of licensure and potential cost of hanging your hat somewhere, recurring continuing education costs and time may or may not be worth it.
