Or should I just put them into stock market?

One thing most host don't do is stock the kitchen up well. 

My guess is the lender had a claim against AHP to satisfy and that is how they did it, but that is just a guess.I have 2 other investments with the same firm that were facing this zombie investment status where they might be dead, but aren't dead yet.

I think the dead giveaway is the rate and points. 5% is too low for anyone to lend now.

Actually the IRS does not tell us what we can invest in, only what is disallowed (life insurance contracts and collectibles).Allowable investments for SDIRA investing include the following:Residential real estate, including: apartments, single family homes, and duplexesCommercial real estate Undeveloped or raw landREITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts)Real estate notes (mortgages and deeds of trusts)Promissory notes Private limited partnerships, limited liability companies, and C corporationsTax lien certificatesOil and gas investmentsPrivate stock offerings, private placementsJudgments/structured settlementsGold bullion Factoring investments

Indeed, you can get higher returns than that in the stock market at the click of a mouse and, when investing internationally, you'd typically want a higher return than you can get domestically or in the stock market, unless you're mainly looking for diversification or parking your money.On another unrelated note, I love your latest podcast episode.

Thoughtful extras, such as welcome baskets or well-stocked kitchens with basic spices, can make a stay memorable.

Also, I put stock in the fact that I can manage things well and that I try to operate above reproach.

Plus, since they can cut and paint to size, shipping costs is less, and they stock way less material on hand.Imported treated pine lumber is astronomical since their pines trees were wiped out by the pine beetle and they also don't have a coating/impregnation process for the raw timber.
