Contact me PlzPS - Since 2003, Dean & DeWitt Property Management has helped investors buy, sell, and manage investment properties in the St.

We have multiple single family rentals in Cahokia Heights that we purchased about 1-1/2 years ago. 

Many people choose NOT to have this, because the administrator will then vet every investment you make to ensure you do not invalidate your IRA.Invalidating your IRA means that you've done a prohibited transaction and the entire account is then deemed as distributed to you.If you don't want checkbook control, then I recommend a plan administrator such as Equity Trust - www.trustetc.comIf you are sure that you're aware of all the rules around prohibited transactions and disqualified people (who you can and can't do business with), then a plan administrator like Sense Financial would be a good place to start talking.  

@Brittney Yang To structure a short-term partnership for your duplex investment, establish a joint venture or LLC with clear roles, responsibilities, and a timeline for dissolution.

I’m open to either a townhouse or a single-family home, but I’m definitely trying to steer clear of any crazy HOAs that eat into cash flow (you know what I’m talking about!).

In the six years I've owned, operated and sold vacation rentals on the Oregon Coast the investment landscape has evolved considerably. 

Quote from @Mike Figueroa: I have 5 single family townhomes.

There is a single family home that was divided and one half has been rented and an ad on small "house" that has also been rented mostly long term.

While you did point out the negative aspects of a deal like this, you didn't really highlight the pros on the RE side and future investment, appreciation etc.I’ve done two of these projects in the past 3 years in SoCal.
