I'm not sure about the distinction, but UDirect was adamant, so it must have to do with IRA regulations about SDIRA's.

It must be an property that is strictly for investment purposes only.

That is governed by SEC and state regulations.

My understanding of the new IRS regulation to take effect Jan. 1, 2014, is that the "safe harbor for small taxpayers" regulation will allow qualifying taxpayers to avoid having to determine whether an expenditure is an improvement or a repair so long as the total amount spent (per building) is the lesser of $10,000 or 2% of its unadjusted basis.

I believe ADA regulations state that landlords cannot deny a tenants right to make a unit handicapped accessible, provided it comes out of his pocket and is returned to original state upon leaving.

@Patrick NgIf you want to confine yourself to conventional financing, you will be hindered by rules and regulations.

I don’t believe the rules and regulations stipulate that you can’t have a full-time job, just rather that you have to work full-time in the job where you have your Solo401K.

The more regulations and restrictions on development and housing, the less development.

Study your stste landlord tenant regulations before you purchase so that you know the laws.

That will indicate you have a strict business practice that will not be flexible and puts the decision back on the tenant to act.
