Sell the home you currently own to a non-disqualified person then have them sell it to your retirement account...just in case you're thinking about getting creative.   

The insurance is prohibitive but we're personally browsing property on the North Coast currently. 

Personally, I don't give out an application unless all decision-makers are present and have decided they want to pursue renting the property.

I am not usually the smartest person in the room but I like listening to them and paying attention to their advice.

Contact them every month, preferably in person, and make small talk.

Hello Friends, for about $400k if a person acted fast, for off market sale, could have 90,000 sf commercial building in fort Dodge ia. 

I have seen it in Arlington....one place super unusual, like almost two full houses on a lot that really should support only 1.I think your first step is to go in person to Planning and Zoning office...with your information and idea of what you want to do and see if they give you a warm or cold reception. 

However, the other benefits of owning real estate are: - Taxes (depreciation/potential accelerated depreciation)- Appreciation (this is NOT always guaranteed, but over time, you will have appreciation)- Building equity (in this scenario, as long as rent is paid, you'll build about $140 monthly in equity)Please note some expenses that are missing from this are: - Management fees (8-10% on average, if applicable)- Estimated vacancy costs (2-3%)- Estimated repairs (5%)Disclaimer: I am a real estate investor and own four rental properties. 

I also never signed rental agreements personally.
