A follow up question:1) Does the HUD condo ratio rule concern the townhouse community (I assume it does not, but want to make sure)

If you haven't yet, research the 50% rule on these forums.

I'll have to do a better job of pointing this out in the lease or maybe add a 1 page 'Rules of Engagement': A straight forward, no bs, bullet pointed list of expectations of tenant.

Looked at the pics.I would power wash the sidewalk next to your building as well as the entrance and patio.They are real dirty and you can see algae growing on them.You can rent concrete pressure washer with a high PSI at Lowe's or Home Depot for cheap.Make sure you spend a little higher amount to get the high psi sprayer.Do Not use it on the house but concrete only as damage can occur.The houses use a lower psi sprayer than the concrete ones.I would say you are looking at identity disorder with this property.I get your story about it but what else is around it??

A very general rule of thumb is that if the tenant does something that causes the landlord to spend money, and the reason for the expense is due to more than standard wear and tear, the expense can be passed on to the tenant.

If the Listing Agent is trying to force you to use a specific title company, that's a violation of RESPA rules, and you should refuse.At very, very least, show up to the closing and tell the title company you refuse to close until the fee is removed.

My questions is this; if one party who owns a property in a SDIRA wants to sell it, and a prohibited party wants to buy it, either within a SDIRA or otherwise, are there certain rules that apply to the timeline of how long it would have to be owned by another outside party that is NOT a prohibited party - such as a 'fellow friendly investor'?

They should also be able to tell you what type of return parameters their investors are typically looking for and you should be able to compare your structure to those of their more successful raises.Again, it all sounds like a great idea right now, but you have to also remember, capital investors get to make the rules right now.

George, those 50% rules don't work too well around here do they?

Just curious- how did you verify this guy's identity as a "bank representative"?
