The eastern portion of Pennsylvania is about as close as I can find deals like this, and it's about a two hour drive from New York City, so while I don't mind going every now and then, this won't be a weekly or even monthly visit either, hopefully.The second concern is that I am not a handyman by any stretch of the definition.  

Even if the IRA only owns a portion of a property, it is responsible to pay its percentage of expenses.

This just varies really.If an agent is giving credit for a stove for 500 and the commission is 10,000 then that is different from a 75,000 house and a 2,250 commission.The agent isn't getting all of that as you have the broker split and any reduction the agent agrees to without the brokers consent will be taken out of their portion.

I decided to stop contributing to my IRA so I don't have to worry about waiting to access any portion of that money as I'm hoping to be able to retire before 59 1/2.

Most Exclusive Right to Sell Agreements have and 180 day after listing expires and if it immediately sold most agents would be knocking at the sellers door with their hand out.If they relist with someone else and a previously interested buyer shows up the original listing agent can still demand a portion of the commission."
