He has all sorts of junk in the front yard and the sight is an eye sore when compared to the majority duplexes that are around (Cul-de-sac).

Thanks, and sorry @Terry Wood for butting in to your post. 

I am interested in this property:[IMG]http://i59.tinypic.com/2jadutv.jpg[/IMG] http://i59.tinypic.com/2jadutv.jpgWhat style would you call this house with the box frame, flat roof and wood vertical shingles around the sides? 

I have a lot of character home that have beautiful wood work and I despise it when people paint over beautiful woodwork.

One poster's there, and if I remember he sighted some specific rulings, is that for it to be 'sweat equity' of the kind that would be prohibited under SDIRA rules it would have to *improve the value* of the property.

I can't say it's been becasue of my security devices or just because nobody was interested in my houses but I've never had any breakins (Knocks on wood).

The family neglected their roof which leaked onto the hard wood floors below.

If it's typical Texas wooded, maybe setup a deer lease for a couple hunting clubs?
