Look for people with retirement accounts and teach them about self directed accounts.

I have a W2 for now, almost retired.

Do that for 5 years, before you have kids/family, and you’ll retire before 30

Add in the fact the US is in many ways the largest most stable capitalistic democracy in the world and it makes sense to invest here.

The person (real estate broker) says it will build long term wealth for retirement but I want cashflow at this point, but I don't know if what he's trying to do is save me the headache of the rehab being that I'm a newbie.

The Sellers are retiring and the common sense kind of people - they run the operations and let professionals handle taxes, bookeeping, legal, etc.

Maybe find a local private lender (self-directed retirement account) that will lend with not much underwriting.

In January of this year I retired from my W2 job of 40 years. 

For example I specialize in real estate and small to mid-sized businesses but don't specialize in any particular industry for those businesses.I saw the other comment about retirement plans.

Good Evening, I have run into the roadblock of trying to find a bank that will open up an business account - with an LLC that is owned by a self directed retirement account.
