Any disadvantage to a virtual/remote CPA?

Self directed IRA seemed like a good idea, but I feel like I need more in there to make it work, and investing through a SDIRA through financing seems like it can be disadvantageous, or at least incur other fees, such as UBTI or UBIT, which off set some potential upsides.But my perspective on what to do with my IRA has changed.....I was wondering if anyone knows about using a Roth IRA withdrawal for a First Time Homebuyer offsetting penalties, but if this would work for purchasing an owner financed deal?

Is there something I can do to mitigate that disadvantage?

I’ve also heard that putting real estate income under an S corps would have disadvantages from a tax perspective.

Do the advantages outweigh the disadvantages? 

To your point, my time and experience are both limited which puts me at a disadvantage.

What are the advantages and disadvantages, and what's the best way to go about that when it's time?

What are the benefits/disadvantages of having the property in a trust versus personal name or LLC?

The problem is that anyone who can afford $3k/month can easily afford a $300k house.You've pointed out some of the inherent disadvantages of SFRs.

You are somewhat at disadvantage.
