We're not sure if we could rent it without the oven and how much it would decrease the rental value per month.The other thought is to go through with the remodel and refinance once rented but don't know if that alone would add enough value to the home.This is my first BP post so if there is information or specifics lacking that I can add let me know.

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.
