(Google UBIT or read Tom Wheelwright's book Tax-Free Wealth)Investing actively in real estate through an SDIRA voilates the self-dealing rule for IRAs.  

I have been reading and listening to real estate investing books everyday for a while now and it is something i want to pursue. 

From my experience, Aircover has been covering loss of income if there were bookings for those days. 

How many struggle in there bookings, to find way around, ask "what is this corn-dog like thing"..... 

Thanks to everything I’ve learned from the podcasts, books, and this community, my wife and I currently own:A triplex in MaineA single-family rental in San AntonioA single-family primary residence in Las Cruces, NM, which will become a rental when we move in a few monthsFor context, I'm an active-duty Army officer with about 12 years left until retirement, and my wife works for a university in Boston.

Then you can read a more in-depth book like The Book On Rental Property Investing by Brandon Turner or The Unofficial Guide to Real Estate Investing by Spencer Strauss.You need to get a firm grasp on two things: the ways to make money with real estate, and how to find deals that match your goals.P.S.

No maintenance/cap ex, vacancy, PM, book keeping, asset protection, miscellaneous, etc.his actual cash flow when properly allocating for sustained expenses is a fraction of his advertised cash flow.  

If this job popped up out of the blue, your intent was not to move within the 1st year, so you may be ok.If you are planning on building a portfolio of homes, it is safest to stick in your home for 12 months to reduce the appearance of potential fraud. 

I have read the book on long distance investing and still am not too confident to get started.

I know we're still ok with it because we're renting and it's booking quite a bit.
