Personally, I would start by diving into recently sold (6months) properties within a mile that share similar characteristics to your home.

According to the Culture Index, I'm a "Technical Expert" personality type.

Personally I don't care of someone got permits to do something. 

Without getting too deep into my own personal financials, ill create a quick scenario. 

Disqualified persons include your fiduciary and members of your family (spouse, ancestor, lineal descendant, and any spouse of a lineal descendant).The following are examples of prohibited transactions with a traditional IRA:Borrowing money from it.Selling property to it.Receiving unreasonable compensation for managing it.Using it as security for a loan.Buying property for personal use (present or future) with IRA funds.

You're correct on your positives and negatives, but I would have some doubt on the DSCR disqualification - there are different loan products based on different asset types + markets.

The listing agents hate it when I tell them I will present my buyer clients offer in person.

What’s more, doing a detailed market research, making a feasibility analysis, getting to know similar minded investors through networking are some of the ways that a person venturing into that field can avoid pitfalls.Good luck!

This is what happened when I saw her in person. 

From the description of the duties that a broker will help you out with, it sounds like this is the type of person that I really need from the get go to help me get started out right.I'm thinking one of the first calls I make is to call one of these brokers, and develop a good relationship with a good broker.
