Hey Matt,With $50K in a self-directed IRA, there are several strategies you could explore to generate both short- and long-term returns, depending on your risk tolerance and investment goals.

So depending on if you are using it personally and want to have it pay for itself or you just want cash flow will help determine where you should look and what type/size home you want to consider.Please reach out anytime and let me know if I can be of help.

@Stefano Vrolijk it all depends on your credit history, whether you have an SSN/ ITIN and how much you can put down.

This is critical because depending on your future goals and what we think the market is going to do, we can structure everything to keep more money in your pocket for the next deal. 

Depending on the size of your portfolio and what you're doing in real estate, it may or may not be worth it setting up all these entities.I don't run any other businesses. 

Thanks in advance,Keyshawn Good morning, the Destin market allows for short term, mid term and long term rentals depending on the area.

It depends where you are on your wealth and life ladder.

This all depends on what you buy, and more important, how you buy it,...and I'm not saying put more money down. 

@Peter Tverdov it depends on going wages in your marketplace.I would imagine labor costs are much higher in NJ than in MI.

That depends on a lot of personal factors such as your finances.
