I do not understand what the function is explain the premise and I will try to determine if it is a scam or not.

They usually come from a pre-approved list and is rotated.  

The IRA LLC manager is responsible for the administrative review of alternative investment purchases, a function generally performed by the self-directed IRA custodian.

Obviously they are functional and they are not too ugly in my opinion, so should I just paint them?

I am looking for a banquet hall/Function hall in Pawtucket/Pridence and 'lower' mass (think 95 s). 

Then I probably start rehab on a different property- was just wondering if it might be worth trying to do a refinance on that 4plex sooner rather than in a year or two or however long when the tenants rotate out.

The depreciation loss is to account for functional obsolescence and long term capital repairs to rental property.

I am looking to get my real estate license in PA, however working a full time job with rotating shifts it will be hard for me to go to an in person class.

@Elizabeth Wilson is pretty much right.You can use both of them for free.For a long-term business, I recommend Wordpress.org because you install it on your own hosting server and you have full control.You can install plugins, which are like pieces of software or apps that adds extra functionality to your website and you can improve performance, etc.

Technology has changed the way the real estate industry functions which remove a lot of the requirements of a broker.One of the largest reasons broker's were needed for managing rental properties came from the fact that rent payments were all made in person and most management companies were using trust accounts for receiving payments.
