IRA Custodian recommendation

[Daniel Guillermo]

I have decided to open a self-directed IRA to invest in rental property. I was wondering if anyone could recommend an IRA custodian that I could use. I'd like one that is easy to work with and has reasonable fees. I noticed some have transaction fees while some have flat fees but I'm not sure which is better. It seems like transaction fees can get pretty high if you have multiple leveraged properties in the IRA. I have done some searching on this forum and see some have used UDirect or Equity Trust, are those my best options? Who do you recommend and why?
