I am ready and will be starting with property number one sometime, hopefully, quarter one of 2025 with a possibly 2 bedroom and 1 bathroom single family home; as this is within my current budget.

@Jahniya Butlercan you start with a house hack instead? 

I’m just getting started on my rental journey.

Slow start but hoping to gain momentum.

I want to start investing in real estate in America in the near future, since I am not in America, I live in Europe, more precisely in Serbia, any advice and contact will mean a lot to me.

Fortunately for me, I started investing a time in the market where everything went up.  

Many people choose NOT to have this, because the administrator will then vet every investment you make to ensure you do not invalidate your IRA.Invalidating your IRA means that you've done a prohibited transaction and the entire account is then deemed as distributed to you.If you don't want checkbook control, then I recommend a plan administrator such as Equity Trust - www.trustetc.comIf you are sure that you're aware of all the rules around prohibited transactions and disqualified people (who you can and can't do business with), then a plan administrator like Sense Financial would be a good place to start talking.  

Some costs MAY qualify as startup costs if the rental rises to a qualifying trade or business level under 195 as well.

Honestly, it seems like you’ve got more skin in the game than I do since I’m just getting started as a bird dog, but I really admire your approach.I think your focus on tax-efficient strategies and building a reliable team is spot on.
