The problem you will run into is that since once its on the internet, it is there forever, future buyers can see those pictures and if they find them and ask if you had it remediated and your response is "Umm, ya I killed it with bleach" they are gunna walk.

I am looking to start a business to provide a service to real estate agents.

It doesn't bother me to expand my criteria as long as it has strong rental market and decent PM companies that service those areas.

We are a full service management company and currently vendor out all day-to-day maintenance to a small contractor who handles the majority of our maintenance full time (3 maintenance techs). 

You personally are not allowed to provide any service or anything of value to the IRA.

@Chris ChantavongAs noted above , for sale by owner is one way to go.If you want to get maximum exposure without paying much % fees to agents you ahould consider a "flat fee MLS listing" service

Data is from A and B class properties only.Where LTV comes in is your debt service is part of your expenses.

Have a list of wants you expect from your property manager and ask if that is within the scope of their service. 4.

See the rules for yourself:https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/plan-particip...I understand that this is probably not what you want to hear and you will hear all kinds of answers on the internet, but please be aware of the risk having your IRA, your wife's IRA and your mother's IRA disqualified. 

i find the service folks with families to be a bit more stable and return the homes in better shape than the single folks but that of course is not a universal there is always an exception to that.
