I'm thinking NNN (fast food joints, banks, drug stores), self-storage, strip malls.

Would I have to pay self employment t also?

Reject the greedy, the unethical, the self-centered and the selfish and especially those who lie and cheat.Believe me, having money does not mean happiness or success, it's only a means to pull up along side of it, to cross over to it takes many other life experiences!

And, the property would need to be appraised as well, yes the appraisal for ED come in lower than market, but that can be objected to and split between two appraisals in most cases.....I'm usually not really for the use of ED to benefit any private venture.

You need to assess your exposures on a regular basis.....good luck.

If the listing agent doesn't like it, they will object or talk it down if they do it alone, so being there, at least you have a chance of getting a response by the seller.

I have a previous employer based 401K that I will be moving into some form of self directed structure, possibly a Solo 401K.

Not sure also how many water bills and weed cutting assessments he will be faced with.

Next is the assessment of the tragted property and its potential to meet those goals and what the cost will be to bring the property into or up to market.

The objective is to remove all signs of the hive.
