i'm considering trying to invest in CT at some point (I used to live there, I own a property there and have part of a business network, and I have family there) and just out of curiosity, I actually looked at new housing starts in CT vs.

I am a professional photographer and have been doing that for the past 18 years, so I'll also be building my business in NC from the ground up!

My buddy and I have been finding wholesale deals and are in the process of starting a new wholesaling business.

I am currently a student at Florida International University, studying International Business.

Is the mid term rental business that you have a 'rental arbitrage' business?

Many people choose NOT to have this, because the administrator will then vet every investment you make to ensure you do not invalidate your IRA.Invalidating your IRA means that you've done a prohibited transaction and the entire account is then deemed as distributed to you.If you don't want checkbook control, then I recommend a plan administrator such as Equity Trust - www.trustetc.comIf you are sure that you're aware of all the rules around prohibited transactions and disqualified people (who you can and can't do business with), then a plan administrator like Sense Financial would be a good place to start talking.  

I’m looking to network with people that help asset manage multi family apartment complexes.My business partner and I have grown to almost 300 units.

I would be leveraging my relationship with my family member to wholesale the property for experience and getting them for investment in my real estate business while my family member gets rid of a property, hassle free, while getting paid.

Ask yourself: do I really have the knowledge of real estate principles, real estate law and real estate finance; the network of contacts; the experience both in business in general and real estate in particular; the time available; and the analytical ability to compete against FULL TIME EXPERIENCED PROFESSIONALS to be successful in a field where the failure rate is so astronomically high?  

@Enrique Toledo-Perez As a realtor are you not allowed to open a wholesaling business?
