The drawbacks of the SDIRA are the contribution limits and that IF you want to borrow non-recourse money there is paperwork and a small tax that apply. 

The $850 price sounds about right - I see landlord policies as low as $500 and as high as $1500 per year depending on the underwriting details.

Some leaky faucets , slow drains , a broken window , a broken screen door, missing damaged facia , Eve's and saufet .wood decay around front door , a ceiling fan that doesn't work , ac with water filling drain pan , crack in garage ceiling , 1 cracked floor tile, 1 double tapped breaker , and a missing attic inspection cover .

But I was transferred by my company overseas this year (just as I finished the remodel),but found great renters and a good price. 

I am a big believer that goals and a plan to achieve them are key.

I'm also considering SFH but those are extremely difficult to find turnkey and a good price for the math above for optimal net profit.

So what I decided was seeing that I know RE is the direction I really want to go I stopped my TSP and decided to pay off my car loan and a personal loan faster and cut down the interest I pay overtime..

I am an investor agent for the last 14 years and own a real estate team, property management company, and a flippIng company.

Option 3 is a lease option scenario is the main diff with mine, and I start with all cash, then grow the price with SF and a LO as option 2 or 3. 

Without mentioning names they own 7300 units in Southeast and a growing company.
