Hello, I am going to close on some land currently with two house and a workshop on it, near Augusta, GA.

And they sour the precious relationship with their GC right from the start. 

Others could have taken that same precious capital and invested it in 4 similar properties, with 25% down payments and 75% loans/leverage, and controlled $900k in property that doubled to $1.8M by now.

They might not come up with the idea, but they can vet it.If you want to get really wild and larger sums, I would source precious gems and Teak plantations.    

If you rent out any property for 14 days or less in total for the year, you don’t have to report the income or pay any tax on the income (this is known as the “Augusta Rule,”).

However, there is such a thing as a self-directed solo 401k plan which is very popular for those who are self employed.Following are the similarities and differences between the solo 401k and the self-directed IRA.The Self-Directed IRA and Solo 401k Similarities Both were created by congress for individuals to save for retirement;Both may be invested in alternative investments such as real estate, precious metals tax liens, promissory notes, private company shares, and stocks and mutual funds, to name a few;Both allow for Roth contributions;Both are subject to prohibited transaction rules;Both are subject to federal taxes at time of distribution;Both allow for checkbook control for placing alternative investments;Both may be invested in annuities;Both are protected from creditors;Both allow for nondeductible contributions;Both are prohibited from investing in assets listed under I.R.C. 408(m); andNeither may be invested in your own business.  

Most tenants come with their own furniture and appliances from the precious property they rented.

I'm just curious as to some average costs of property managers (around the Augusta GA area).

So, no charge for the new drain, no charge for my precious time, no special gotcha maintenance fee.
