Quote from @Antoine Black: I have a house that free and clear and I'm trying to tap in the equity can any one help  Hey Antoine, As Mike stated, your best bet is a local credit union.

(Google UBIT or read Tom Wheelwright's book Tax-Free Wealth)Investing actively in real estate through an SDIRA voilates the self-dealing rule for IRAs.  

If your manager is just 'keeping an eye' on things, collecting/reminding on a few rents here and there and some light cleanup while being compensated in free or reduced space rent then classifying them as 1099 subcontractor is great. 

The contributions are lower so it takes a while to build, but once you do, it's tax-free investing. 

@Kieran Collings would love to chat with you.

That means the government has been borrowing my $600k (instead of $1.2M because I don’t live in California.) interest free for more than 10 years.

Please feel free to reach out.

Financially free always betas debt free, and taking on more "smart" debt is not only opposite of risky but actually the goal for the most seasonal investors.  

They're already there and given the holiday season, probably the traffic is light, so you can chat then up for 10-15m about the area, rental class, as well as any remarkable developments in the area that would positively impact that home/area. 

Hi Meghan, feel free to connect, I'm up in Plymouth., so tend to focus from Concord to Gorham.
