Other ways of using SDIRAs could be to invest in syndications, performing  or non-performing debt, precious metals, raw land, precious metals, mobile home parks, self-storage facilities and more. 

I'll go with @Greg Scott line set metal cover idea and @Chris Seveney idea for painting the copper white.Thanks folks!  

Would you think a store that had a small step at the front would be compliant if they had a small metal portable ramp they could lay down over the stairs in case someone in a wheelchair were to come?

I see 3-5 as a fad.Fractional ownership - way to much overhead for these to be profitable. think "timeshare".STR in non traditional markets - running a STR is a business and real estate, boils down to location location location - who would want to go to a conference and stay in a STR vs. the hotel where the conference is at, most businesses pay for this I do not see why.Mixed use with green - this has been going on for years- it will continue but it is also more expensive to build - which means higher costs to use.Not trying to be debbie downer, I have seen these attempted to be done in the past and they really have not been successful.I do really like the BTR model though as I continue to see that as a very good option in the future. 

Feel free to DM me if you’d like to connect and discuss options further!

Hello - After listening to the podcast, I've made a commitment to purchase a rental property by the end of Q2 this year (ideally by the end of Q1). I am interested in buying a long-term turnkey property in a nice area...

If your household income is more than 5 times monthly rent, a guarantor may be an option in lieu of a sufficient credit score.

There are some good cash flow markets, TIC options and DSTs.

Outside of raising money from others or seller financing, I am looking to see if there are private or other lending options that could cover 10-20% of a downpayment on these loans with a shorter loan term of say 5 years.

If you're still in college and working with an FHA loan, a duplex can be a solid option.
