I am actively expanding my STR consulting business!

You can find online which larger institutions are buying in a specific area and try and reach out to them.

I typically don't comment on other's businesses unless I know from personal experience.

You can also check their reviews online at Google, Facebook, or Yelp.

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.  

In the latter case, I would still use QB to enter info provided by the 3P servicer and to maintain my general ledger for the lending business.

You can also check their reviews online at Google, Facebook, or Yelp.

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

You can find qualified buyers that are small business owners, tradesmen, etc just have someone qualified to do prop underwriting be fore you sign the agreement. 

The majority of the business I do is buying small multi families and identifying the towns that are more favorable for investing.
