Is an SDIRA my only option if I want to use the funds for investing in real estate?

Wall Street often doesn't highlight these options because they make money from the fees on traditional investments, but with a Self-Directed IRA or Self-Directed 401(k), people can take control of your retirement savings and invest directly into real assets if they wish.Here’s how it works:1.

Generally, the contract will outline your time frame for your option period.

The kicker is he now realizes he's out of options and is emailing me that he's going to "win be back" and "convince me to stay" like this is some high school romance.

What are your options?

I'm weighing the options between renting to a Section 8 tenant or a traditional renter.My goal is to rent the property for $1,100 to $1,200 per month.

My first investment was a Sandwich Lease Option. 

I can and will eventually work again (I'm an architect and psychologist), but would first like to explore my options that would allow me to develop this investment full-time.

But it is one of many options I’m trying to come up with.
