That's good news Brian...I know it can be frustrating working within the confines of the rules governing an IRA or 401k but the power of compounding your profits in a tax deferred or tax free vehicle is too good to pass up.There are all kinds of reports showing the massive tax and financial benefits of investing inside your retirement plan.So I would encourage you continue to research ways to use your retirement monies to build your future wealth.Personally, I look for RE deals where the purchase price has already created a profit for me and I offer the property at a great price and let someone else put in their sweat equity.

Basically, the trick is to find rural areas where there are industries or situations in which some people may want to not stay in a hotel but in a cozy home?

I use Cozy for a couple of my tenants.

I searched through multiple companies online cozy, buildium, and a few others.

Even if you confine yourself to the Dallas County side of DFW, there are still many sub-markets and hundreds of micro-markets within those. 

UBTI only apply in certain circumstances - say if I were wholesaling, flipping (generating earned income), leveraging my IRA, etc - within the confines of my self directed IRA.Anyway...if there is a CPA/EA/tax guru who knows the answer...I'm all ears.

If the caller presses one now, this is what they will hear. 7778 Archdale located 1 block east of Tireman and 1 block south of the Southfield Expressway is a cute and cozy three-bedroom bungalow.

I'm not going to write a super  long answer, I hope,  but I will answer coz I was once in your shoes.

I realize that I'm going to have to divorce myself from a lot of "romantic ideas" about a cozy A-Frame to use as I please, and start looking at it more objectively.

I didn't know "Cozy Lease" was the term technically used!
