Am sure you are familiar with meetup; you have lots to choose from in this area.  

Therefore the tenant remains solely a tenant, just renting the property, until they choose to purchase. 

I agree I never even consider appreciation as I intend to hold long term just speaking in generalities as to why someone may choose SFR.

I need advice please on routes you would choose to do.  

Account Closed  When you start working choose your broker for what he can do that helps you get started rather than the commission split he gives you. 100% of nothing is nothing.Some offices have many strong listing agents who need help holding their homes open.

I recently ran across a similar court case where the IRS took issue with this (thought I think the facts are slightly different).If it's a single member LLC, what business activity code would you choose on Schedule C when you report the income?

A bunch of real estate people stretch the truth to get a sale and have to choose to be honest to the homeowner about what they are doing.Another choice could be fix and flip but can take more creativity to get a loan depending on how much money you have.  

It is a little harder to get comps on these units as i do not have a large pool to choose from for comparing.  

IMO that's the price of doing business.If the company rep can't guide you to figure out what you should buy, but just sending you deals to choose from, they need more training before they can help you.

@Bernie HuckesteinThink of the IRA-owned LLC as being like a "fund" owned by your IRA, where you are the fund manager.As the manager of the LLC, you can choose to open one or more financial accounts in the name of the LLC at a bank, credit union or brokerage house of your choosing.
