You may be happy in a few months that you are not just finishing a re-hab using today's numbers.This and there are billion dollar hedge funds buying up all the rentals right now.Oh and with a risk free rate of return under 1% traditional expectations of risk / reward may need to be adjusted.

To fix it right, you'll want to keep going until you don't find mold anymore.I disagree with Christian's method for fixing it, but that's mainly because I'd be comfortable "doing it right" without a plumber.

I've gone to traditional schools, but I have learned as much or more from the school of hard knocks.Bigger Pockets is a great place to learn, but I believe it is so much more.There are experienced wholesalers, landlords, CPAs, accountants, tax professionals, attorneys, financers, flippers, authors, programmers, social media types, web designers, and the list goes on.

The program makes it easier for Native Americans to purchase a home if they are looking to buy in rural areas, on a Reservation, have an "okay" credit score, or don't have traditional W-2 income.

If you mean traditional financing, you're going to want that credit score, plus reserves, plus income.

In short, you get an extra long lecture on commitment and on how they work in creative real estate vs traditional real estate investing, how it is NOT open enrollment (they supposedly only allow one person per area unless it is a very large area), you get a couple questionnaires, and they review your responses and get back to you whether you are good to move forward or not. 

This is the "traditional way".Keep getting educated and network in your local REI.

Or would there have to be a transfer from the TSP account to a traditional IRA then into a SDIRA?
