Not sure if it's a state or local law, but the town where the college I attended is located prohibits more than 2 people with different last names from living in the same house.  

@Alex Knights,Most states prohibit "cherry picking" renter applications* and require that the chronologically first applicant who meets the specified criteria MUST be accepted.

Bottom line is they withheld they had a pitbull, knowing I prohibited dangerous breeds in contract, and was also recently attacked.

You will likely want to work with your accountant and attorney in setting up and managing the checkbook IRA, to ensure it is set up properly and to avoid prohibited transactions.

If you starting from scratch the cost to earn your license, as well as, maintain it is cost prohibitive.

Interest rates and loans down there are to prohibitive.  

Keep your 401k and your business separate If you keep that in mind it will also help you to in avoiding prohibited transactions once you open an SDIRA.

The way this works is, an LLC is opened for the IRA and the IRA ownes all the shares, so there is no prohibited transaction.The LLC can then purchase the real estate directly and you don't have to deal with the custodian.

How much are you paying for wire fees that it would be so prohibitive?

This is a paragraph from the IRS dealing with disqualified persons: Certain transactions are exempt from being treated as prohibited transactions.
