Moreover, there are long-term savings to be had with a Self-Directed 401(k) over a SDIRA as you do not have to pay a third party fees - SD401(k) plan's cash just sits in a designated account and you, under a trust, control access to it.

The extra expense of cleaning up his poor plumbing, electrical, mechanical, drywall, finishes was substantial.

If a contractor can't manage his business in order to get paid after he has completed the job, then he isn't worth his salt.They will give you the song and dance about needing you to have skin in the game so they don't lose out....this is just silly as they have the BEST position to be sitting in with the ability to file a mechanics lien on the property. 

This actually already exists, and agents with the MRP designation like myself get these referrals already.

Plus if there’s a change or design challenge it can really delay a project and cost lots through time.

That really will not work for me, because, as you also mention, it'll be hard to get construction done form scratch in 180 days.Additionally, I'm looking at selling four properties over 12 months, so I need a holding mechanism that would sell to the entity buying with 1031 funds.Another issue for me is selling four properties and then buying two rentals with the proceeds. 

I go there to get design inspiration. 

and at the end of the day, we need to be able to use common sense in getting into a door.Yes, you will need a WiFi set up to control the lock at your location and a very cheap subscription if you want to control the locks remotely - but you don't have to.Beware of shiny, good "Apple" design looking products made of cheap and light plastics, especially when it comes to longevity and the heavy mechanics needed to withstand millions of physical movements and human force.Also, remember the water- and weatherproof factor.The "on top of door deadbolt" solutions are NOT preferable over the inside lock solution.

This is by design and you can look back to 1800 to see it.

Would these types of meters work in buildings such as a duplex or a small 4 plex or are they specifically designed for mobile homes?
