In order to invest out of state and scale I realize this is not my comparative advantage.

2. does traditional financing work if all pre-arranged in advance of the auction date?

I am looking for clarification on things I've heard regarding the amount of properties one person can hold under loan from a traditional loaning agency at a time ( around 5?)

Compare that with other banks.  

Use a site like bankrate.com to quickly compare the various banks rates and the minimum deposit amounts. 

15k, and that's a lot compared to how much they would typically pay (i.e. 0).Create a detailed scope of work, if you're going to run a rehab you need to understand the process of the construction occurring.

What makes a self-directed IRA custodian different is that they are not purely connected to the public exchanges and limited to investing in stocks, bonds and funds, but rather have the staff training and paperwork to document the IRA's investment in the more individualized transactions that occur when investing in real estate, notes and other non-traditional assets.

My main concern is that I’m moving to a small town of 5,000 people and the prices are lower there compared to other parts of BC, however it’s nowhere near passing the 1% rule!

I am not sure I am interested in that because I can get a traditional loan at a cheaper rate.

@Daniel B.Are there any recently sold comparables in the area?
