This is a different breed of investor.

Thanks,JoshuaDoes the "Den" have a closet?

It would be ideal to start here for a hands on approach, but honestly, if the deal is good, I'd take it in any profitable market.

Or if that’s not allowed sell it to a friend who will then sell it to my personal IRA at a discounted rate so when I turn 65 and sell the properties , I don’t have to pay any tax on all of my properties assuming I don’t sell them until they are in my IRA account…

My advice would be to only go the auction route if you're a experienced investor.

I find myself being very bullish towards MFA syndications here in Phoenix, this year.

Does anyone have any experience using Poplar Homes as a property manager in the Dayton, Ohio area?

However, I think their pricing is a bit much. 

This sounds like a thought out plan.
