I would do it again, it doesn't cost anything other than time spent replying to potential tenants, but I won't expect a ton of people to actually apply

Everybody and their brother wants to do flips....those who haven’t done them before have unrealistic expectations of profit potential or are too conservative in their numbers in order to be competitive.

So, with high demand and a fixed/limited supply of real estate, I'd expect Cedar Park to do better than the Pioneer Crossing area in appreciation and rent growth when buying a resale home over the near and middle terms.

Probably not.Of course, this would be different if you were looking for finishing money and the broker offered you something that made sense with an expectation to make it back after the sale.

@Eddie SorrellWe are going through the same situation currently with a duplex we expect to close on next month.

On the other hand, I expect that anti-landlord policies will be firmly entrenched and taken as gospel. 

What has been your experience with purchasing buy and hold properties using SDIRA funds and the legal fees I should expect? 

Have a gentle but firm conversation with the neighbor, let them know what you intend to do with the property, what your expectations are of him and what his expectations can be of you (even if it’s just about parking).Hopefully this two steps will go a long way to resolve any future issues that are similar to this.All the best.

Could you define:- ballpark expectations on return- time horizon, how liquid you need it to be- how passive?

What other issues can I expect when a septic fails or the foundation needs repair?
