They do not provide meaningful oversight or guidance with respect to tax code compliance.A checkbook IRA LLC is an enhancement on the above structure that is generally more time and cost efficient for investors with a more diverse portfolio.

I agree, I have one STR that I own, but also thinking of doing the arbitrage for a few reasons: 1) to scale up a little quick - use income from that to use towards buying more properties 2) have some diversity in the portfolio 3) maybe use it as a segue into talking about getting the property under a lease to owner or owner financing situation.

The population has been growing here year over year over the last decade, it is home to The Ohio State University which has over 50,000 students that live here along with those that visit, and it also holds a diverse range of young professionals and traveling nurses to fill the demand of the multiple business corporations and hospitals stationed here.

Don't give up, you're in a great area that has seen high growth, almost zero vacancies, and is supported with diverse employment sectors and NJ and NYC transplants

Then narrow down what part(s) of DFW you are interested in because it’s a big city with diverse areas.

So you'd be looking at high potential rental income, cheap properties or, even better a combination of the two.That prime candidates would be:Mexico and the Dominican Republic: cheap properties, mass tourism, occupancy all year long, closeness to North America, direct flights from North America, the US and increasingly Asia, strong international and domestic tourism and tourists coming from diverse locations.Southern Europe (Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece): properties aren't necessarily that cheap (some are) but you have mass tourism there as well.Then you have secondary markets like Colombia or Brazil.

And are diversity from the IRA $.  

In the long term, I do want to diversity as well as work on the badass part (far from there now).

DFW has a diverse economy, a strong job market and good schools in the suburbs.

I think one-factor people overlook a lot is job diversity.
