Selling a house to S-corp is different than transferring/Contributing a house to S-corp. 

I would love to hear suggestions others have and would like to contribute to a thought provoking conversation really regarding anything real estate. i'm really loving all the learning thats happening!

Thanks you guys for contributing.

The drawbacks of the SDIRA are the contribution limits and that IF you want to borrow non-recourse money there is paperwork and a small tax that apply. 

.:)I have disappeared for days now and I always contribute so nothing's changed on my end.

@Jonathan Cox don’t forget that there is a match on your TSP contribution up to 5%.

Our personal home mortgage- mortgage is only in her name, but the bank counted my monthly $ contributions towards our qualifying income amount.

So, to help narrow the focus and then guidance, do you have an idea of property type, price range, capital contribution, etc? 

Compared to an IRA, Solo 401k contributions limits are roughly ten times higher.There is no custodial requirement for the 401k.You don't need the additional expense and administration of an LLC to have checkbook control.There is a built in-Roth component whereas IRAs are either traditional or Roth, not both.A spouse can also participate in the same Solo 401k plan.The Solo 401k has additional tax benefits over an IRA when investing into real estate using leverage.The penalties for prohibited transactions are less severe.

Seller can contribute up to 6% of the sales price toward your closing cost on a primary purchase.
