This doesn't mean to jack the price up 5k, unless you can find hidden value in the property the original wholesaler did not see, for instance you have wholesalers that never go out to look at a property they make offers directly from street views and public records and they get the deal.

Don't allow them to touch electric or piping or gas appliances.The famous garage door sensors that nee replaced all of a sudden is simply a 2 min re-align the sensor deal. :)Have them send pics of the receipts.

For instance, in My area, you can only charge up to 2x rent in last month/deposit holdings, so it's legal to charge a full last months rent, but you have to take a smaller deposit and then also presumably refund a bunch of that last months rent at the end.

In this instance the replacements are going to necessitate that you either take out a new loan or loans to replace the mortgage or bring cash to the table so you can still purchase at least as much as you sell.3.

This allows me to cover any major unforseen expenses, for instance a roof replacement or heaven forbid another environmental cleanup.

In that instance you are paying for the land minus the cost to demo the structure.

For instance, if both this property and your primary residence is paid off in 15-30 years, depending on your retirement window, think of the value provided there in terms of regular income and equity available for liquidation.

For instance, for the last two years the gap between development and demand in Denver and DC is rising (two of the cities with the most Millennial growth in recent years).

Could I legally sell it to my self for $175k (with the $50k minus closing costs going into the SDIRA) I would then finance it at 80% (put 35k down) and use it as a rental propertyReason why I thought of this is I have purchased properties, fixed them up and had to wait six months for seasoning (since I do not have 10 properties I am still using conventional financing through my credit union)In this instance I do not have to wait the six months I can refinance immediately.Downside is I am putting $ into the deals when a typical BRRR you are not at the end of the day (if done correctly) but this also allows the SDIRA to ramp up quickly

Leveraging is using other people's money to buy...For instance you have $100,000 to buy realestate.
