To avoid Prohibited Transactions, SDIRA investments really need to be passive.Oh, I'll also mention that SDIRAs are subject to UBIT tax.  

But thanks for the mention @Jay Hinrichs I'd invest in my backyard, outside the city of Seattle.

Dominic, you mentioned not being able to scale my business using Shopify as opposed to Wordpress.

As you mentioned, I first require GROSS household income to be at least 3x the rent.

Also as someone mentioned Oakhurst above. 

You also need the operating cash to do rehab.I say this because you mention FHA and low money.

I work a lot with investors outside of the US from a tax perspective but from a mortgage perspective, as mentioned above hard money or DSCR is probably your best bet.

I still ride bikes and I’ve severely limited my carbs and sugar after the suggestion of the Bigger Pockets member mentioning it. 

If it is a class C office building with 10% occupancy that is very different than a Class A MF which is still very different than a debt fund with zero leverage.As mentioned risk and return go together  - greater risk should have greater upside

I recently read a book that mentioned there being a lot of power and benefits of a personal corporation but I'm curious as to when a corporation is actually beneficial over the latter.
