While some strategies may work here, those strategies might not suit you.I don't personally do MTR, STR, co-living, or other nuanced strategies.

The key is to identify personal property from real property.

Another benefit is it is much easier to diversify into multiple markets, asset classes and operators.Just wanted to share an alternative - often active investing is the way to go, but it really depends on the person and it is important to know that there are passive ways to accomplish your financial goals.Good luck!

I spent many years managing myself and personally collecting rent checks. 

You might be able to get around the fact your entity owns the property by either transferring the property back into your personal name or by some personal guarantee or cross-collaterization agreement.

Quote from @Basit Siddiqi: I personally would not buy real estate with a retirement account.There are just too many headaches that are not worth the potential increased return.Some headaches when it comes to investing in real estate with a retirement account1) LTV values are less and harder to find lenders.2) Potential to sell or partially distibute the property if you have to do a RMD(Required Minimum Distribution)3) If you run out of cash and have to make a major repair, you may be out of luck and have to sell.4) Having to potentially worry about UBTI(Unrelated Business Taxable Income)I would personally invest in stocks/bonds/notes with a retirement account.I buy deals with cash and use a ROTH SDIRA so there are no RMD's.I buy at huge discounts to retail.

We purchased an RV last year under our personal names that is primarily used for business travel.

If one is transferring property title from personal name, a Grant/Warranty Deed would be drafted/recorded to transfer title. 

So PLEASE don’t make another huge financial decision and then tell that same person after you do it.

You will have to pay higher personal income tax rate, versus waitingtill after one year for lower Capital gain tax rates.
