I will say a friend in real estate just posted last night on his story that he did cash for keys to get rid of two non paying tenants and 5 dogs.

However, it was obvious that if you are any good at investing you often will pay more tax by investing in real estate through an SDIRA.  

I'm new to Bigger Pockets and have been immersing myself in the podcast and studying various aspects of real estate investing—from market analysis to financing—for the past two months.

I’ve considered lots of options (all real estate based since I can do a 1031 exchange and avoid the capital gains tax).

We'd like to purchase several homes in great condition with the seller carrying the down payment. 

I am retiring from the military soon and am looking to get into commercial real estate.
