Mine have smooth and popcorn ceilings and I've never heard a complaint about the style of either.The only problem I've had with the popcorn ceilings is repairs can be more visible.

If I could purchase a property 50/50 with my IRA, it would be a lot easier to finance and would I be able to manage and do repairs myself through my 50% ownership?

So, yeah, my question about the $7,000 or $12,000 and paying for the repairs holds.Since you're likely to reply with more incoherent nonsense, I won't be replying any more unless anyone has honest questions like the original poster and many of the other great people on this forum. 

Any positive cash flow I had was eaten up by repairs necessitated by purposeful property damage, a lot of it by random vandals, and by former tenants who were kicked out.  

The reason I want to switch is required repairs (It would mess up the order of my rennovations and I can't do them now).

The generalized slang of "buy under market value" is a short form way of saying "buy at a price that affords correct margin to effect what repairs and problem solving is necessary with an appropriate profit margin and carried costs to make it a net profitable venture". 

I will note we've had insurance payouts that end up being more than the cost of the repairs when all is said and done, so that is not unusual. 

So rather than add another “sounds good, has anyone done it” strategy, I’ll merely lay out an actual transaction I completed (a number of years ago), which combined RE and Business for greater profit.I purchased an auto repair facility at bankruptcy sale for $115,000.
