This will also allow you to get the best possible financing and lower down payment options.If you are able to do some work to fix up the property that would allow you to grow the equity. 

Quote from @Britton Gammons: I appreciate this, and it resonates.

Appreciate any help on this - if you are willing to help or know of a broker who might. 

Hi Elvin,yeah I did this for the last 6 months.  

Just need to find the right deal that will check the right boxes.

I currently do not have any money in the market.I’ve been weighing my options for investing for retirement and wanted to hear from others who are solely relying on physical real estate, or those who also have investments in the stock market.I guess my question is this: Based on this information, is it worth me maxing out a roth IRA or should I just focus on my business and real estate?

I have read a few things about them and am just unclear of how to get that setup (through the institution they are sitting in or an institution that specializes in this?)

I work with investors across the U.S. who need fast, reliable funding and a lender who understands the ins and outs of real-world deals.Outside of lending, I’m all about extreme sports—snowmobiling, off-roading, skydiving—you name it.

This usually leads to more permits and more inspections.

I'm in KY and can't imagine wanting to get in the hot tub in summer lol To OP I was curious about this as well, as for me I'd probably want the cooling option but curious to hear what others do.
