"Good" debt is debt that you make money directly off of the money borrowed.

@Daniel DietzYour analysis is in the right direction, but not quite there.1) Determine the debt financing ratio - in this case .602) 60% of the gross income is then looked at by UDFI3) 60% of all deductible expenses are applied, so 60% of straight-line depreciation, 60% of the interest on the note, 60% of property taxes, etc.4) $1000 exemption applies5) The net amount after deductions and exemptions is then taxable to the IRA, and the trust tax table is used to determine the tax amount.Even if you have a negative UDFI liability, it can be worth filing the 990-T in case you can carry that loss forward to future years.We have a UDFI calculator on our website and if you PM me, I can send a link to you (BP does not want me posting that outside content on their forums).

If you think you're liking the numbers on Loopnet, contact the broker or the seller directly.

I own a couple mutli families in Bakersfield and those have been good cash flowers over the years so I definitely tend to lean in that direction.

Have you ever considered transferring the 401k funds to an IRA and then having the IRA invest in real estate?

I've read a few articles describing the benefit of using a 3rd party like "cozy.com" to collect rents from tenants...one benefit being my routing and account number aren't given to tenants for direct deposit which can evidently lead to issues down the road...however, the main benefit being that a tenant can stall an eviction by direct depositing a portion of the rent owed into my account, thereby, nullifying the eviction process and having to start over since I "accepted" partial payment. 

Direct Mail seems like a good approach though.

Hey @Rob PelayoSend me a direct message and I can connect you with my real estate agent who primarily works with investors in the Central Valley area.  

The Ys are far too needy and self entitled for my liking.
