Unfortunately FHA loans are always going to put you at a disadvantage.

My understanding is that the rollover amount would also be taxed if we went with a Roth IRA but the Traditional IRA has tax and other disadvantages of its own such as the minimum disbursement requirements.Any insight about this situation would be appreciated!

Introverts have a different skill set to approach this but not a disadvantage. 

Pros:Diversification: Precious metals can serve as a hedge against inflation and protect your portfolio from market fluctuations.Tangible assets: Unlike stocks and bonds, precious metals are physical assets that can be held in your hand.Price stability: The prices of precious metals have historically remained relatively stable over long periods of time, making them a good investment choice in times of economic uncertainty.Cons:Price volatility: Although the prices of precious metals are generally stable, they can still be subject to fluctuations, especially in times of market volatility.Liquidity: Precious metals can be difficult to sell quickly, especially in times of market downturns.Storage costs: Precious metals need to be stored in a secure location, which can incur additional costs.Lack of yield: Unlike stocks and bonds, precious metals do not generate a regular income, which can be a disadvantage for those looking to generate a steady stream of income from their investments.Tax implications: Precious metals may be subject to capital gains taxes and other tax implications, so it's important to consider these factors before making any investment decisions.It's important to keep in mind that every investment comes with its own set of risks and benefits.

@Dan ForgusonIn my market it would put me at a competitive disadvantage not to.

You can be as friendly as you want to be and screen as much as you want… but you only put yourself at a disadvantage as a landlord by not protecting yourself.  

If anyone could help me understand both the advantages and disadvantages of both, and also give me your opinion as to which one is better for a buy and hold business that would be great.

Thanks Karin, Can you recommend a search term or specific thread that you liked, and found helpful because I'm interested in the specific advantages and disadvantages of investing while holding a license.

However, like any investment, it comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages.

Each of these has its advantages and disadvantages, so choose one that best fits your style and strategy.4.
