Any insights or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Personally, my primary residence has appreciated around 6% in market value and I live in Levittown. 

I think it's just for text, not to talk with a live person.

(Keep in mind there are Fannie Mae maximums on the number of personal loans you can have - which is 10 per person.

People want reliability, honesty, being on time, and having a good personality more than just a few $$.

One caveat to this strategy is that you can’t live in a property that your IRA owns, nor can you rent it out to anyone else who may be considered a disqualified person like your spouse or child.Feel free to connect with me and send me a direct message if you want to learn more!

Also, long term, I expect Sac will enact tougher restrictions on STR, given the intense housing crunch we're experience, so I personally don't expect that to a be a good long term strategy.

Quote from @Irina Badal: I heard for anonymity purpose it’s advisable to set up a personal residence trust.

I love talking personal finance and real estate investing so I would be happy to help.

Build connections with local professionals, talk to them in person, and value there time over yours.
