My 4 year old witnessed everything and I just wanted to leave but he refused to let me get in my vehicle until I do.

So, you are certainly right, there is a lot to consider and you want the investment vehicle match your financial model (you also want this outside your IRA) but I'd rather deal with that than just letting Wallstreet determine my retirement!

Such vehicles are a means for your IRA to invest in real estate, not a way for you to get your hands on the IRA money for your own deals.So, the main comparison to make is; can the IRA grow better and more securely invested in real estate than it can in whatever it is invested in today.

If you own two vehicles, it's best of there are two deeded spaces. 

LLC is more of asset protection vehicle than tax saving tool.

A large vehicle, like a van, with a "funeral" sign in its windshield, followed close behind it.

I recently sold my personal vehicle since I have a boring work car, so the only fun cars I get to see are at Cars & Coffee.

I am waiting on my paycheck to be able to fix the vehicle on my own, but for right now it is sitting in my driveway with visible damage to it.

@Matt EngleThank you for response, my goal is to reach financial freedom In the shortest time possible by using real estate as an investment vehicle, having the ability to be flexible and live the life I want and be around my family as much as possible, support my parents/famil y and build a community in my native country of Zimbabwe.

California LLCs can be more of a PITA than other jurisdiction due to your pesky franchise tax board; but, LLCs are wonderful vehicles, even in California.
