I did this type of investing early on in my career, and I decided to change directions to invest locally in the Chicago area. 

Unless someone is very comfortable with all the rules regarding SDIRAs and prohibited transactions, we don't recommend these types of entities.We have never had any complaints from our clients who hold real estate directly that there are too many delays or too many fees.

I'm also wondering if you have space for an ADU for your current house, as this is a popular trend in Seattle.

The type of house would include viking appliances, hardy board, and Andersen windows for example.

One thing to keep in mind is that you can't use an FHA loan for an STR, so you'd have to go conventional or another loan type. 

In continuance, what type of returns are outside investors looking for typically?  

I need to install a fire escape for a 3rd floor multi-family building in the Albany, NY area and am having difficulty finding contractors who do this type of work.

Looking to connect with more Investors of all type - Wholesalers, Fix & flippers and buy and holders! 

It might require somebody with experience.Sponsors sell investors on an alignment of interest (and you'll definitely get that pitch hard from the sponsor-guru types), but an analysis of the math behind these transaction structures can prove otherwise.

I’m mainly interested in wholesaling and other investment types of real estate!
