Marc,  Our lease states we cans show the property during the notice interval, and access by the landlord is authorized for showings and inspections.The first step is to visit the property to "preview" it for the marketing, and you can note any big issues that may delay occupancy, and even stress to the residents what they could be docked for.I always tell the residents to protect their valuables because its hard to track other people's children during showings, and the more they cooperate and the faster the house leases, the less time they have to tolerate showings.I've had perfect houses occupied the next day.I've had disasters that need  six weeks to prepare.With this effort and a mid-lease maintenance inspection, there are fewer surprises.

Now that I'm expanding to the Augusta area I don't have access.  

So one day, he called 911 and said "if you don't come, something bad is about to go down".And a Sergeant was despatched.The Sergeant, bless his soul, took one look at the property, took photos with his phone, asked for access to the property which was declined by the neighbor, posted a Deputy on the gate, and went and got a search order.

What I really need is sound tax advice and access to capital.  

Does anyone have access to the list of properties up for auction tomorrow (March 1st)? 

I get to HD, start talking to the manager, surprisingly everyone sprung into action, they are calling to get the surveillance video, calling other stores, attempting to block the items from being returned w/o the receipt, which I had by the way.In the mist of all these advocates working for me, i get a text.

I've owned multi units in Bay City, but am a wholesaler/Realtor in Grand Rapids.I have access to the Bay City MLS and can help with comps if needed or introduce you to some local investors. 

Investor friendly realtors we are in search of the worst house on the best block somewhere in Suburban North Jersey?

My duplex is just a few blocks north of Brooks Ave and while most of the people looking at it knew it was a good street, we still struggled, and are only getting $750/mo for a 2 bed.

If it is better than what the IRA is invested in today, and better than passive investments such as hard money lending, then you are getting the best results for your IRA with this strategy.If UBIT is a road block for you, then you switch gears and either have the IRA be a hard money lender to flippers and produce passive interest income that will not be taxed, or you buy-fix-rent and then sell a few years down the road to turn the property transaction into a passive rental, so that when you do sell, there is no tax implication.It is possible to combine your IRA with your wife's when making investments, but it gets more complicated when you do that.
