I want to diversify and I feel like the best way to accomplish that is through real estate.

Purchased a property that was listed by sellers agent on Zillow realtor.com etc as triplex with rents listed etc. my realtor verified the rents, as it has been rented as a triplex for 25+ years, worked with both my realtor and listing agent through the sale.

Incidentally this is the perfect scenario where a checkbook IRA is going to be far superior to having to go through the custodian for every transaction. 

This provision, through the Affordable Homes Act, make ADUs legal BY RIGHT in any single family zoned property in the state.

I won't just write them all here but I highly recommend contacting a qualified 1031 intermediary to walk you through the process.

And this is a biggee wading through the fake lenders or the Joker brokers that tell you what you want to hear  but cant get the deals funded and you lose the deal and a lot of money.3. with actual PML  private people  usually have very limited funds so cant scale with them.. they can have a life event and just stop doing loans all together..

He walks us through every step of the way.

If I ever have specific questions, I look through google and then use the BP forums as another source.

In the meantime, I would like to gain experience through employment with an existing real estate or property management company.Is there anyone out there that can provide me with some good advice/guidance as to the best and most practical route to achieve that goal?
