@Max Brown  You may want to give the following podcast a listen (if you haven't already.) https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2015/12/17/bp-podcast-153600k-debt-108-single-family-rentals-linda-mckissack/Linda Mckissack is probably the most established investor in Denton, and wrote the book "HOLD." 

As for the mentor, I haven't found any on BP, but have established in about six weeks time a group of people who are willing to advise me.

Once you've established yourself and proven you know your numbers, know your market, know your exit strategies....money will start coming to you instead of vice versa.

Then I'd be on the lookout for established wholesalers and investors in your area that pop up from your keywords.4.

Does the jargon under the terms of sale indicate a clean title?  

The biggest cost of running an airbnb is the cleaning cost.

The disadvantage is you need to be more hands-on because you are cleaning the property and paying all the utilities.

Such as;If the SDIRA is worth 100KIf the house equity is 80Kthe '20K difference' could be a payment of 5K per year for 4 yearsI would think it would be cumbersome to somehow (either the QDRO mentioned above or a simple judges order as I used) have each spouse own just 'part' of the same asset - I can see  some potential conflicts coming up ;-).In my case, my SDIRA owned 1/3 of an LLC that owned 2 recently purchased properties so the value was established by the purchase prices, and the balance in the checking account for the LLC.

It's not based on the rent but it's what you have to have in order to clean up / repair damage from the tenant.

As I look at my activity on the private money funding side.. other than well established turn key companies that I help on the inventory side... my go to teams that are very profitable have one thing in common.. they are Real Estate brokers and agents ...
