It doesn't bother me to expand my criteria as long as it has strong rental market and decent PM companies that service those areas.

We are a full service management company and currently vendor out all day-to-day maintenance to a small contractor who handles the majority of our maintenance full time (3 maintenance techs). 

You personally are not allowed to provide any service or anything of value to the IRA.

@Chris ChantavongAs noted above , for sale by owner is one way to go.If you want to get maximum exposure without paying much % fees to agents you ahould consider a "flat fee MLS listing" service

Data is from A and B class properties only.Where LTV comes in is your debt service is part of your expenses.

Have a list of wants you expect from your property manager and ask if that is within the scope of their service. 4.

That is risky in itself.It would seem a lot wiser to take those individual retirement plans and invest them into something they can each do independently such as smaller properties, trust deeds, crowdfunds focused on real estate based assets, or the like.

i find the service folks with families to be a bit more stable and return the homes in better shape than the single folks but that of course is not a universal there is always an exception to that. 

I wont next time.Took too long, and feel I would have received much better service using a local title company.

First and foremost, thank you for your service.
