In my opinion investors need to have a good understanding on maintenance and repair issues, as well as what it takes to handle improvements. 

The only issue is that most hard money lenders I talk to won't fund a house for less than 100k.

Your IRA would get a deposit each month until you are cashed out and you won't have any management issues--those fall to the owner/landlord.

A lot of times, early investors think they have enough cash to squeeze out a deal and then run into liquidity issues.

Hello,I am having an issue with an estate sale property that I am looking for help on.

She initially appeared really hard-working, and even immediately corrected a few issues with the condo (it was already rented). 

We would like some insights on this issue.  

I really shouldn't have any maintenance issues for a long time, as everything is brand new.
