Self Directed IRA (after age 60)
I've seen a lot of info about the self-directed IRA for investors that are under 60, but I haven't found anything (yet) for those of us 60 and over. Is that still the best vehicle to move my 401k into, if I want to invest it into a rental house IF I am going to be using the income from the house for my monthly living expenses?

Another approach to this would be doing a Roth conversion - which would require paying the taxes - but eliminate the required minimum distribution (RMD) issue and allow for subsequent tax free growth.
