I am also a huge fan of real estate and for the past 50 years there's been a way to combine both.By leveraging a Self-Directed IRA, real estate investors enjoy both the traditional advantages of property ownership and the additional tax benefits of retirement accounts, creating a powerful wealth-building strategy.

The third was a program on Self Storage which was highly informative and I enjoyed through AJ Osborne.

Sounds like this could possibly be a Schedule C activity so keep self employment tax in mind.

Many opt for other investing methods in their SDIRA like private lending, crypto, private equity...anything except collectibles and life insurance.Note that a Solo 401k is exempt from UBIT on leveraged real estate so if you have self employment activity and no full time employees save for you and your spouse you should consider the Solo K as an option.

Even if you plan to self-manage, having a solid property management contact early on is always a good move.
