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.  

We do live in a small rule area where properties are a little cheaper, but so far it’s been very difficult to find something that seems to pencil out.

If they were only there a month you could re-rent easy with little to no turnover renovation.

Additionally, the price point is still cheap enough to find the 1% rule and positive cash flow and there's amazing appreciation potential.

:Quote from @Jimmy Lieu:Have tons of examples of deals that hit the 1% rule and positive cash flow.

For example, places like Illinois and Oklahoma have specific rules requiring a real estate license for certain types of marketing.This specifically for flipping land using Transactional Funding.If you’ve done this before, what states have you found to be friendly toward this approach?

You can read the rules in the footer of every page.We are happy to have you here.

The section 8 tenants I've managed have been easy to work with.

Tax deductions / write-offs should be a second concern.There are some rules that you need to follow to treat a short-term rental as 'active'(non passive) income which would allow you to offset it against other forms of income such as rental income / wages.
