Solo 401k vs Self Directed IRA

[Jay Bedsworth]

Have been reading that a solo IRA would be a better vehicle for purchasing property as the property can be leveraged with a non recourse loan and not have to pay tax on the gains associated with the loan portion at the “trust” tax rates. If one could qualify for a solo IRA do you think this is s better vehicle to use? ( assuming that the properties would have loans put on them)
