I listened to a few podcasts from Advanta on how to invest in tax liens in a self-directed IRA, however the management fees charged by Advanta are rather large compared to other retirement fund options...I also found a few audiobooks from the library and listened to them:Brian Mahoney - Tax Lien Certificates Property Investing.C.R.

It is a process, the first piece is to charge an application fee. 

State Farm is dropping our apartment insurance policy for two 5-unit apartment buildings I am managing.

This is a learning property for me, so we’ve learned about managing tenants, making the right improvements, selecting contractors and managing the process.

Welcome,property manager in Anchorage here.

I checked with the agent and a property manager and they are okay with the location.

Hi,I am going to open a solo (self directed) 401K account from 1099 income I will earn.I weighed pros and cons of solo 401K vs SD IRA, and solo 401K is better option for me.I plan to roll over my previous employer's 401K into the solo 401K account.I want to invest in real estate syndication (passive investment) from the solo 401K account.Does anyone have any good recommendation on the company who manages the solo 401K account?

you have first hand experience with managing STR's without a property manager?
