Purchase price: $72,000 Cash invested: $40,000 Sale price: $180,100 I found this great little house coated in smoke but solid.

Within 5 minutes I got a message from him stating that underwriting has concerns about the location of the property being rural and not having enough sales comps. 

Years ago, I bought into the Motley Fool stock advisory service only to get worse returns than I had been doing on my own (not that mine were great.)

The majority of sales from a SDIRA involved a "flip", where holding period was <365 days.

^this is assuming you want to refinance based on the full fledged value after rehab/value add.

Most of these are small areas without many multifamily offerings listed for sale.  

Of particular interest are: Multi-Family Complexes, Medical & Industrial Parks, Warehouse & Storage Facilities, RV & Mobile Home Parks, Sale and Triple NNN lease backs, Agricultural and Timber investments. 

Look at paying into your debt like this: Your making 3.75% ( technically after taxes only  about .75 of that ) on your money when you pay that debt down.

Huge point about this dying dog…after it passes, guarantee you they get a puppy.

You may also want to really consider trying to find an experienced partner after you have done a deal or two - this may be key to helping you reach your five year goal.
