A new hotel is being built that will take up my entire block except for my condo unit.

So here's the run down.Two buildings, same building essentially except one side has a backyard to it and 3 more units.

I do simple yellow postcards sent to absentee owners...so far so good.My printer does everything except the list...simple and quick.Happy to share his contact info and pricing if interested.

So my 184 unit complex pays $1840 per month and my 432 unit complex pays $4300 per month.For that price, we get:All accounting services except for audit and tax.Management of all homeowner issues/complaints/maintenance requests, etc.Management of all vendors, work orders, bids and quotes, etc.Regular code enforcement walk through, notifications and fine managementInterface with collections attorney.Annual meeting management, including adhering to proper notification periods, proxy counting and all the crap that goes with it.For my larger complex, we get a management company employee who sits in our clubhouse 2 days per week to help homeowners with dues payments, questions, etc. 

Any chance they would make an exception for conventional?

They put on a great meeting about once a month, except in the summertime when everyone is running around trying to get as much sun and warmth as possible, lol!  

Sure we've made "investment" decisions that didn't work out as well as we had hoped but that is part of investing in anything (except for oneself - I think that is always a great idea).   

The properties that we manage are nice condos and houses though with the exception of one section 8 condo.

Once self-directed IRA is setup you can use it to invest into virtually any investment opportunity except collectibles and life insurance contracts. 

It is also the exception that this would slip past the insurance company.
