What you get in upside on your investment you pay for in a lack of liquidity, heightened risk, or in some other manner by seeking yields with less experienced sponsors, riskier assets with higher dispersions of return, etc. 

Depending on your budget, or lack there of, I would head to Zillow and look for current listings.  

I started as an agent part time and found that acting as an agent for my peers where I was full-time created synergy with our schedules to the point where they didn't notice my "lack of availability" (time typically made up late at night using tools like scheduled emails to keep in contact and provide updates as well as reviewing listings).

I've been involved in foreclosure sales in MD and it's taken freakin years, with the end result being the house becomes a tear down due to lack of maintenance.

I have my SDIRA set up and funded Now i m looking for any & all advice about the buying process / liability issues / etc I have found a good deal on a duplex & i have enough funds in the account to buy it outright however ideally i would like to not be “cash poor” for lack of better word within this account. ( Ex: If i find a 200k property for 100k and it cash flows, and i have 100k in the IRA, i would like to cash flow it and sit on it for long term gains ) - is financing within an IRA allowable?

I come across deals all the time, but lack that confidence to jump in especially since I don't have that network to provide the necessary guidance. 

I'm just finding it hard to do an apples-to-apples comparison of true cash flow and it is driving me nuts. 

The problems I've had with these ambitions is either too much risk and not enough reward (Opening a computer repair store) or risking missing out on an opportunity because of lack of experience or not enough education (Becoming a VP, since currently all I have to offer education wise are books that I've read and a high school diploma.

In my research, I have come across a common complaint: lack of liquidity. 

They have offered to compensate me out of contract, because they "want the numbers to stay where they are" someone I know, knows the tenant which i didnt know until recently, they are the one who informed my agent and I of the appeal and the lack of military service, she showed me the court documents that the seller and her agents have still not shown us, The person i know that knows the tenant said he HAS NOT been staying in the apartment in fear that the courts are going to find out hes not a veteran and have the sheriffs come arrest him as the court is paying the tenants weekly rent because he's an unemployed scum bag who lied about being a military veteran, She's also told me that he has signed a new apartment lease somewhere else and she has offered to and has started helping him move his stuff out of the apartment.I forced my agent to get back under contract yet again, she made the close date for tomorrow Friday the 13th of all days, the guy still isnt out of the apartment fully(meaning all his stuff) there are still random people answering the door who are not on the lease who are missing teeth left right and center. still no walk through. yet, everyone still expects me to close tomorrow, I'm telling my agent, NO let me guess, contact an attorney?
