@Perry IvyYour financial advisor is likely oversimplifying a bit.A qualified plan like a 401k has very robust protections at the federal level for bankruptcy and other forms of judgments against you personally.An IRA is insulated against bankruptcy claims up to $1.2M by federal law.Protection for an IRA in other types of judgments is dependent on state law.In the reverse direction, if you pursue non-traditional investments such as real estate in an IRA, you want to be concerned about personal exposure from such investments.  

Is there a robust market for it?

Tenant agrees to not allow any personresiding on the premises, or any guest, or invitee to use controlled substances(including alcohol and prescription medications) in a manner that will eitherdisturb the peace and quiet enjoyment of other Tenants or neighbors adjacent tothe premises; or endanger the health, safety, or well being of Tenant or anyother person.GUESTS.

Seems pretty robust here presently but only time will tell.

But when I want a more robust report, I reach out to a realtor.

I would pay what ever it takes to live in the BAy Area.. its only family reason that I have to hand out here in Oregon in the doom and gloom of the winter which last 9 months.. but the RE market makes up for it a little its quite robust.. not in a mid west fashion its not a cash flow market but if your a retail flipper you can make big dough here consistantly
