As a limited partner, you would be able to participate in the project without being involved in the day-to-day operations, while benefiting from the potential profits upon completion.If this sounds like an opportunity you would be interested in, I would love to discuss further and provide additional details on how we can collaborate.Looking forward to connecting soon.

Not to mention the tax benefits it allows. 

There are plenty of STR-savvy CPAs who can help you navigate the rules, maximize tax benefits, and make sure everything is done right.

Option D: you are considered a "disqualified person" to your IRA and as such are prohibited from engaging in any transaction in an IRA or receiving any benefits from the IRA (directly or indirectly), therefore I strongly suggest you avoid this option if you wish to stay out of trouble. 

I think real estate investing is absolutely the way to go thanks to the cash flow, appreciation, and tax benefits! 

You mentioned "The only problem is that these are 6 month lends, I'm 1.5 months into this, so any work that I do now will not reap any kind of benefits until 6 months from now."

You might not cash flow right away, but even just offsetting what you were paying in rent while building equity, getting tax benefits, and learning how to be a landlord is a game changer.

I’d love to hear your experiences, especially if there were unexpected benefits or challenges.Looking forward to your insights! 

You will lose one of the best benefits of the real estate industry, appreciation.

Can provide all the benefits from a cash flow and tax perspective.
