This is a great forum with very knowledgeable members that will help to guide you in the right direction, whether that is real estate sales, wholesaling, flipping, rentals, lending, self-directed IRA and Solo 401k investing, or tax and legal guidance.

And just use the stocks as a reserve.Or a third option is transfer my traditional ira into a self directed ira and use that money.

I sent you a FB message, but to respond, I have an almost 800 credit score, no debt, lots of assets, and am self employed with a mid-low income since I only work part time, but added to my husband's pension, it is not too bad.

Credit report shows reasonable debt load for verifiable income.3) making our application free and requiring tenants to complete the application before we will schedule a showing.This process seems to cause unqualified tenants to self screen themselves out and has virtually eliminated no-shows and unqualified applicants but I don't think our screening process would fly if our units weren't extra, extra nice.

If you are self managing and the agent is just listing your property for you, you should have a "Listing Agreement" which outlines the terms conditions and compensation you will be paying the agent.

I self manage this property so I deal with any thing that comes up, but I use a realtor to find tenants.

Hi Experts, I am looking for latest data about how much it will cost to build a 20-unit apartment complex in CA Central Valley (in/around Tracy / Modesto / Stockton) with a GC vs self-managed project with an experienced architect.

Its another layering of defense. 

As an individual holding the deposit with no pm I would also say it was for rent first since that is easiest to deduct with not much of a defense from the tenant. 

Like Central Oregon would be a mere shadow of its self if the only thing sustaining it were born and raised Oregonians..
