Don't ask me why but, the thought of utilizing company I don't know to oversee my rentals and delegate maintenance requirements, lessee interactions, etc. has me concerned.  

Interacting with their neighbors and going to the community meetings, etc.Pretty much everything @Ryan Mullin said:If you acquire enough properties on one block you can affect change.  

I enjoy interacting with people here and helping out where I can.

I am looking forward to meeting and interacting with everyone.

."), and I limit my time online to researching very specific questions and then some light interaction with people on my same level because I'll get lost in it all and forget where I am in the process (that's just me though, YMMV).

You will make yourself insane if you take it to heart.Give the 24 hour notice, and limit your interactions with this person.

If you hit up a contractor and the only interaction you have is the bid on the project than you can bet hes gonna treat you and your job like anything else.

To me, it's imperative to gather not only numerical information but also stories and experiences that speak to factors like trustworthiness, speed, and reliability.If you've had the chance to interact with challenges along the way, I'd be grateful if you could share those experiences as well.

The better option would be to have a deed of trust as security for a note, secured by a specific property being invested into.In the IRA LLC model, all of your interactions are with the LLC, not the underlying IRA that owns the LLC.If the client is purely receiving interest on a note, this is deemed passive and not subject to taxes such as UBIT. 

Mark's focus, i think, is probates lol. i'd like to learn more about them as well, only really have little interactions w/probates and a small lunch & learn (which encouraged me to setup a trust asap!!)...
