The alternative is to set up a self-directed IRA, or better, a truly self-directed Solo 401k plan, invest in alternative assets, and then do the conversion.

Bob is very good on the customer support and that being said... they are the only company other than myself that I have invested with  basically EVER... as I do my own deals.But I had money stacking up in my SDRA and of course I can't self deal.. so I chose one of his new investments which is more akin to what I like.. quicker turn and high IRR...

It’s my brother and 2 good friends that have some experience. the money lender would be a family member of mine lending out of their self directed IRA so they will be lenient with us.

All of my landlord clients I train to self-manage.

With one property you can self manage even from a distance.   

And what your prior occupation was/is  do you have monthly retirement pay from a W 2.Or are you self employed your whole life and the only one that is going to help you in retirement is yourself.. ??? 

If we do a Self Storage development we expect a 400% COC return.  

FHA has a self-sufficiency rule that makes it difficult unless you put A TON OF MONEY down.

I can't post much publicly due to BP's self-promotion rules, but if you have any questions, send me a message, or reach out to our support team who would be happy to help.We have almost half a million users using our platforms daily who absolutely love them.

As a self proclaimed rookie, I recommend starting by conducting your own initial assessment of the property.
