Be very professional in your presentation of the information and avoid trying to influence or oversell items. 

Since the $41k isn't enough to buy a BTR, I considered buying the land with the SDIRA, but then I see issues with getting a loan, traditional, or otherwise, after the construction. 

If they left behind items that have value, you may need to store for 30 days or some period of time. 

Would love to see some of the items you’ve learned to look for as I begin to look for my first place.

So two separate items 1) deeded fee or common ownership 2) tax or assessor parcels.

Log cabins are very different from traditional framing.

Right now money is cheap and banks are lending, so those who can buy a house are going to do it the traditional way with a lender.

Do you have a list of due diligence items to check on? 

On the other hand, if you're looking to do more traditional buy and hold type deals and you're new at this, then yeah, I would agree that working deals in your vicinity is a safer approach, albeit limiting.

., and fix the necessary items that will fail inspection.
