Regular and honest communication with the owner and tenant are essential.

I am under no stress to try to just put bodies in .. if it takes a year NP... but when its done it will be about as solid as I can make it.. and a good investment for the next person. 

My last handyman just painted over the cabinets with regular paint and no primer so there are a bunch of small chips around handle area on all the cabinets from regular use.  

So, I shouldn't complain.After dealing with this realtor I feel like I need to take a shower.I didn't have any other buyers, my regular buyer didn't want it, after advertising for a few weeks on Craig's List, he was my only option.A few of my regular buyers are Realtor Brokers, they get their end buyers to pay closing costs.

We found no body in the house.

If an IRA (or any tax exempt entity) engages in a trade or business on a regular or repeated basis, there is a tax known at UBIT that applies.  

All of those factors mean that it is damned difficult to make a business work with very few regular customers.

Hi Nick,The house we flipped was in Grand Rapids - Lowell is such a small market and our inventory is so low - we made a bid on one in Lowell but it needed so much work and someone outbid us but we felt it wasn't worth it - we don't attend the court house auctions every month but know people that do - most of them are regulars.

If the SDIRA is engaging in a trade or business on a regular or repeated basis (primary focus or otherwise) then it is subject to UBTI.The code outlines that if a tax-exempt entity is engaging in a trade or business separate from its primary tax-exempt mission - such as a hospital providing healthcare - there is exposure to UBIT, such as if the hospital runs a bookstore.  

Only after the RMD is satisfied for a year may an individual convert the balance (or portion thereof) to a Roth IRA .RMDs that are mistakenly converted become regular Roth IRA contributions for the year of the deposit.
