I have a self-direct IRA and could use some passive options.

IF you want a VA company I can recommend the company we use out of brazil.

Alternatively, you could consider seller financing, which could provide you with a steady income stream while selling the property.As a real estate investor, realtor, and owner of a construction company near Texas A&M (College Station/Bryan,) I'm happy to help in any way I can.

Better if the company has a lot of info in writing that you can absorb to minimize this.
