So, for example, if you’ve managed to secure possession of a self directed IRA or Solo 401k, with a large amount of capital in it (through Roth gains perhaps), you can purchase your real property, notes etc. through a series LLC owned by the retirement account.  

It may still be worth considering investing in properties with lower returns in the current market, as building equity, taking advantage of tax benefits, and potentially refinancing later could offset the lower cash on cash return.

You may find buying what might appear to be a lesser cash on cash return rental asset that's held long enough to take advantage of more efficient long term capital gains tax treatment, while paired with the benefits of the depreciation might yield a better after tax return than flipping a home.

The main benefit of an LLC over home insurance is that it provides personal liability protection, so if something goes wrong, your personal assets are safer.

This situation surely would have benefitted from this indeed.All the best!
