Quote from @Eamon Conheady: I was purchasing a multi family through an IRA LLC and was utilizing debt to finance it, requiring a non-recourse loan.

Best tips are take it slow and make sure you have significant reserves when you leave your w2 also don't buy a company car if you already have a car just to say it's for work.

I have learned a lot over the last ~6 months about furnishing a property, managing/pricing a rental, understanding the ins and outs of Airbnb/Furnished Finder, and analyzing real estate investments generally.My business idea is to use that knowledge and start a company that does the following:-Furnishes properties for investors who want to turn their LTR into a MTR/STR, new homebuyers who want to house hack, or just any investor needing a rental furnished.

Anyone know of one?  State Farm just told me I have too many houses and have to move on. 

Over time, you may want to hire a property management company as tenants can be headaches at times. 

One consideration as you are working on locating private lenders, is that IRA, 401(k), and other retirement accounts can be used in many cases to make private money loans.

I don't see a 401k/IRA as a competition with real estate as with the correct setup, you can self-direct 401k/IRA funds into real estate.

Some are owned by my ROTH IRA and are making tax free cashflow.

I have been made aware of some issues, including problems related to IRA money movement and incomplete deals, which have contributed to the delay in issuing refunds.I want to assure you that your refund has been approved, and steps are being taken to expedite the process.

I moved all of her old retirement money into a self directed IRA/Solo 401K and started putting her money to work through real estate lends.
