A nice but expensive duplex on a beach or in an expensive area might be ideal, if you can swing the other half out of personal funds. 

Which is a tax when you do an active business in your IRA but it is essentially the same thing. 

The downside will have more to do with your business personality.

Personally I think Josh himself is innocent but the company definitely is involved in shady and deceptive business practices.

It is also worth noting that property management is often closer to 30% of gross rent for a short-term rental due to the much more intensive hands-on management compared to a typical 10% for long-term and as such, I agree with recommendations above that medium term rentals may provide the best of both worlds if you are able to tailor proximity to a local need, e.g. hospitals and travel nurses.Again, happy to relay my personal experiences in the area if you're interested.Best of luck,Patrick

I've since closed down to focus on other businesses and run my own STR's. 

They're busy, they're stressed, they're under pressure. 

Have you calculated what your (monthly nut) is you need to survive business wise and personally?

Getting a bit overwhelmed with all the required County Level and City Level business licenses, STR permits and Tax accounts (Business Tax, Franchise & Excise Tax, Sales & Use Tax) to register with the state.

Your IRA can borrow, but you have to be careful to not personally guarantee it.
