Louisville has an active REI group (you can find them on the Meet-up app).

Best bet: Consult with local investors and market specialists. 

Just be sure the property will be for investment only as you there are restrictions on you (and other disqualified persons) using it.If you have self-employment activity, the Solo 401k plan will likely be even better for you than a self-directed IRA.
