@Mark Gibbs Sweat equity is absolutely prohibited in an IRA or 401k plan.  

Likely have moisture damage unless it's absolutely bullet proof.

I'm a Virginia resident currently investing in my first San Antonio flip through a colleague down there (he also lives in Austin but invests in San Antonio), so I absolutely hear you on the long distance concern.

I have spent many hours helping many people who have had absolutely ZERO honesty or loyalty even though most of you newbies talk a good story?

I am a real estate knowledge junkie that visits sites, listen to podcast, read books, bla bla bla and just absolutely loves real estate in general.

If you don't have it you absolutely need it.

Hello,Well i am 26 years old, educated, job paying around 70k a year, currently rent, paid all schooling off, absolutely no debt, just started a Vanguard Roth IRA, and have quite a bit saved up in saving account just sitting there doing nothing.

Concrete slabs absolutely absorb odors as does tile grout.

My significant other thinks I should absolutely work with the agent that showed us this property and to get rid of my guy. 

We don't mind some vacancy since we'll just be turning it over to our management company, but we're not looking for much work here.We are flexible so don't consider those absolute requirements, but if you have $350/monthly per unit and it's 50% rented, we're not going to be interested.
