If you want to get into renatl units, you need a war chest of funds first.Start with a few wholesale deals or short sale flips, or rehab flips using other peoples $ and build up a nest egg.

Or residual poison they take back to there nest and kills the queen and whole colony

They are seperate nests and they will kill each other off!

Inspectors flag the goofiest things (i.e. bird nest in attic is a health hazard, etc.) that can absolutely kill a deal especially with a first-time homebuyer.

This is what millions of Americans do, working hard for 30-40 years, putting money into low-risk, low-yield retirement plans, not taking too many risks, and retiring at 65 with a nice nest-egg that allows them to send their kids to college and live out the rest of their days comfortably.

Now, the earnings on the nest egg would be taxable.

So if you plan on publically advertising for investors or doing massive syndicates then you need to study up, but if you plan on using your self directed IRA or your business partner's nest egg to buy property then you should talk to your accountant, your attorney, and/or your financial planner and skip the trip to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

There are lots of cities in the central part of the country where you could buy a nice house for yourself and a few rentals and have cash left over from your nest egg.When you read those stickies you'll get a better idea of the real expenses for rentals.

Remember, small nesting birds can fit through a 1" hole.
