@henry Clark has posted on BP exact detailed steps to create a self storage facility.  

And usually you have to be self sourcing them or doing some serious turnover. 

At the point I made that decision, I didn't even know about self-directed IRAs, I just knew in general IRAs had a bit more flexibility.  

Most people self exclude themselves. 

Hello Sean,I would consider looking into Self-Directed IRAs. 

Then you can avoid the self promotion issue. 

If we bite off people’s heads when they admit disaster, it suppresses legitimate issues with these techniques.Just for context there is a lot of history with the OP and some of us on here going back years (like the thread I linked to above from about a year ago and several others if you use the search function with his name) with him minimizing the risks of how he was structuring these transactions and some of us being cautionary, warning him that exactly what happened here could happen, which made him defensive and dismissive. 

It’s so mental but if you have stuffed feelings of hatred against the successful people you see you actually are also going to judge your future self for becoming successful and likely sabotage it before you get there. 

If you're trying to save money or learn by self managing that is fine... but then you have to deal with this type of thing.

As for income verification, I require the applicants two most recent paystubs and if self employed I need their most recent tax return.
