@Mimi LiederAlthough it has its own set of difficulties, investing in real estate out of state may be quite profitable.

What's holding me back at the moment is that my sister and I own the property jointly through our separate SDIRA accounts and I'm not clear on how complex the move would be and how long it might take, how much longer we'd need to have the property vacant before getting all this set up right...Not sure, for instance, whether we'll be able to move the property with the same owner percentages into the LLC.

@Carlos Ptriawan contrarian take is that there really aren't that many bay area cities set up to benefit the way EPA is/has.

INNAGO is a free tool that enables you to screen applicants, set up monthly payments, and manage everything in between.It's advisable to adhere to your lease terms and maintain a record of any notices exchanged between you and your tenant.Wishing you the best of luck.

The rent that you can charge per unit will depend on the location, beds/baths, and amenities but that being said $1500-$2000 for one unit is a realistic rent target for a number of neighborhoods on the NW side.

What areas are you targeting?

You must individually own a set percent of the new purchase equal or greater than your selling property in the same tax paying name as when you sold.

You may be better off setting-up a cold email campaign system and creating it in a way that leads to qualified phone calls automatically being set-up for you to close.

I would set some very strong ground rules. :)
