And @Ned Carey, no -- I wasn't aware of the FilePlace, so many thanks for pointing me in that direction, as well as the recommendations on contract law.

@Tanner Marsey, whether you go into a fully owned asset or a fractional like @Mel Hayes is suggesting you can 1031 into either deferring the tax either direction. 

Once you've got the financing lined up, your agent should be able to help you determine the perfect area to find a duplex, analyze rents, crime, etc.But beware, if your agent mostly deals in single family homes and has never worked with investment property like this before they may lead you astray as it'll be the blind leading the blind.Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions about the Sacramento market or investing in general and we'll try to get you pointed in the right direction :-)

Hi @Brianna Jackson, I'm a commercial financing professional, and we can chat directly at some point if it would be helpful, but I'd like to add a couple more quick points here:1.

Hi I have read several posts and done my own due diligence for my self-directed IRA.

Private massage me on this site or text me at my number below and I'll directly pass the point of contact to you.

You can negotiate this with the property manager directly, and if they don't like the terms you are offering, you can take your business elsewhere.

Any direction and advice would be greatly appreciated!
