self directed IRA doing self storage

[John Brennan]

So I'm interested in getting started in purchasing and running self storage facilities and want to learn more. At the same time, I have decent money in my IRA invested in mutual funds. I'm thinking of converting some of that IRA money into a self directed IRA. And then finding an experienced active investor and putting passive IRA money into a deal with them and learning the ropes along the way.

First of all, does this sound reasonable? And if so, where would anyone recommend that I look to do this?

Thanks

John
