This means taking days off of work to handle business, dealing with the subs and any deficiencies they may have, spending time dealing with the city, for both permits and inspections.Having GC doing everything won't entirely eliminate your time cost, but it can mitigate it to an extreme degree.My take is that if you are confident that you can be as fast as the GC in handling everything and there is no negative impact to your other business then by all means do it.

@Andrew Self I would like to think that my company is the best and offers the lowest rates and closing costs, but perhaps I am bias.

It's a big decision to self-manage.

I have a decade of self management - all successful with some slight annoyances.Anyone have any strong reactions to this?

@Amy Jones are you looking to remotely self-manage or looking for referrals to property management companies?

It seems like there are so many limitations to buying real estate with self-directed IRAs. 

Wife and I are both self-employed so acquiring a traditional mortgage is challenging based on our "on paper" income.

Even developing a mobile home park, affordable townhomes or self storage. 

As far as self managing, it’s fairly easy.

Furthermore you can vastly increase your returns through leverage using a non-recourse loan but that will definitely trigger UBIT but again the numbers can still make a lot of sense.
