Mainly have interest in acquIrIng a multi family rentals , also flipping houses, WORKING with PRIVATE MONEY LENDERS .

We are converting our house into a rental property and there is an interior security camera (part of a NEST system) in the main living area Is there any reason I have to remove it when tenants occupy the property?

Another point  is, evaluate what these investors' main goal is.

The other main thing to consider is that evaporation coolers really increase humidity in the unit and without ventilation it can cause problems with mold.

I haven't had much luck with local CPAs but you don't really need to live in the same state to benefit from CPAs that specialize in real estate.

My main issue: How did you get the financing for your next property?

This structure provides a lot of benefits over the typical self-directed IRA.

It's located in an okay neighborhood, not the best from my standpoint, but is close to a main street and an university (12min walk). 

Additional costs such as closing costs (investment property and home equity loan, vacancy in the beginning, repairs)My main question is: Is a home equity loan a reasonable way to generate money for your first deal? 

It sounds like it needs a substantial amount of rehab (to your benefit) so if you can get into it for a low price with seller financing that would be ideal.
