There is a lot of work you have to do as an investor in identifying your goals, your needs and reasons for wanting to invest in real estate, identifying whether or not you can truly be a passive investor, etc.  

But don’t now how to identify the value of the property.

You could try to identify ways to make up for that lost cash flow by doing something that is within your core competency. 

With lots of practice you will be able to identify a good deal quickly and jump on it when the opportunity presents itself.

The type of self-directed IRA that will best suit your situation and goals will drive the process of identifying the right firm to work with.A self-directed IRA custodian is a processing entity. 

Identifying exactly the type of asset protections you are hoping to achieve will help them answer your questions.

It will also allow you time to identify an entity for you, so you don't make a haste decision.

However, all the defects were identified prior to the expiration of the 1st year warranty.I talked to the builder sell agent, and he agreed to reimburse me for any item on the list (garage door stopped working) that I have had repair out of my pocket. 

Look at my reports and identify action items like leases expiring in 90 days or unpaid rent.3.
