For real estate investors, adapting to these changes isn’t just about avoiding fines—it’s about protecting your investment and maintaining a solid reputation. 

Quote from @Ryan Daulton: Since learning that cash flow from real estate that was purchased from self-directed IRAs is taxed, and that I would not be able to claim depreciation on this property, what are the advantages to buying real estate with self-directed IRAs vs. other investment types like stocks and mutual funds?  

Tenants should certainly take responsibility for maintaining the property and promptly informing the landlord of any maintenance concerns.

@Nichole StohlerI find using a SDIRA to be a great tool for passive investments and growing your retirement with less stress than the stock market roller coaster. 

You need a repair partner who can get out immediately and has quick access to replacement parts (if not already in stock). 

To thrive in real estate investing, you must maintain a firm grip on your finances.

If maintaining cash flow is your primary objective, you might want to explore other options.

Stock picking is gambling pure and simple. 

Brett, can you add to this DST "trust account", ie if I sell multiple properties in 2-4 transactions, can they be maintained in the same trust?

I have 50% 50% stock market/real estate allocations right now.
