I really enjoyed working with Table investments in OKC.

Everything necessary was included in the listing so we began to realize that the people who want to clarify things or who don't read the listing are the same ones who start complaining right away and say they can't turn on the tv when there is a 30-page instruction booklet on everything on the dining room table.

What are the things that I would have to bring to the table to convince lenders to work with me?

I’m not sure I’d put a fire pit because of the added fire hazard to your property, maybe the renters bring their own gas fireplace table or something.

The only special considerations the IRA brings to the table are that A) you avoid disqualified persons and B) any debt instrument be non-recourse with respect to the IRA.Other than that, you are only constrained by what makes sense for partners in a real estate transaction and what banks are willing to do.Your IRA is either a lender or it has equity.  

Most of the time, to partner you have to bring something to the table.

Do you really not see the value that a trained live market experienced real estate professional will bring to the table in pinpoint accurate pricing, advertising to other buyers in his/her network, office and other agents and ultimately writing all your contracts that are covered with E&O insurance and backed by an experienced also live RE broker who both live, work and spend money in your community?

I know some sellers don’t care if they leave money on the table, but some do. 

Our time table to invest is in the 6-18 month time frame but I thought finding great people early would be the best strategy.

@Andrew Bissada If tenants are working from home they can work in their room or at the dining room table as we all do.
