@Neil GarceauFor one, people get the loans because they have the income to support it. 

The numbers support buying a property that is $250k or less within 50 miles of I-35.  

A real good property manager won't want them because they are too time-consuming and there's no profit in it for them.

It seems most of the IRA custodians that support the SDIRA/LLC arrangement don't actually handle setting up the LLC or help with the mechanics of operating it.We've found a couple that do, IRA Financial Trust Company and Midland Trust.

I would like to keep all further RE purchases under professional management so I can focus on acquisition and my full time career until I can grow this enough to financially support my family.I have definitely learned a lot from the first property we owned and would prefer to stay away from C-class properties unless they are in a really good area (which seems like an oxymoron lol). 

Another thing to keep in mind is that if you have too many LLC's, banks will often just decline the loan because it is too complicated/time consuming to underwrite the borrower.

Hey all, I've been looking for the data to support this but it's hard to find at the moment.

However, if you are planning on bringing on JV partners or Syndicating a larger asset, you are then becoming a fiduciary of other investors' money; you don't want to take unnecessary risks on upside unless market data supports it.I personally would advise on your underwriting when considering what offer to make you should factor in some vacancy expectations.

I’ve made it my mission to focus my real estate business on supporting female investors to begin getting in the game.
