I have a background in construction and landscaping and my father built custom log homes for many years.

The customer (tenant) wants housing that allows pets. 

Buyer would be someone who wants a semi-custom house.

I made it a point to dine at one of the restaurants, and there was only one other customer seated.

I can usually close in about a day or two from when I tell them, but I usually give them a week just to make sure.I as the borrower pay the fees, so the customer does not pay for lending money.

I do build custom homes though which takes up the majority of my time.

Things to consider when choosing a SDIRA custodian are customer service, knowledge, experience, and processing speeds, as they will be integral to ensuring that the investments you have chosen to self-direct are facilitated efficiently.

And if I could of given a 4th tip it would be this:Buy the most desirable assets possible: this will command top rent/rates, attract high quality customers, increase length of stay thus lowering turnover costs if a LTR (the #1 cash-flow killer), give you the greatest likelihood of holding longterm and/or selling whenever you want/need.

Call you SDIRA and ask them if the IRS has ever 'gone after' customers with this amount of flipping. 

The other 10% are returning customers calling in advance to reserve a particular house that is suitable for their group size.
