Properties are newly built, or renovated, leased & professionally managed. 

Elsewhere I found a reference to BORSA (Business Owner Retirement Savings Account), which apparently does what I wanted to do. they've been doing this since 2002 and claim to be very conservative from IRS regulations perspective; sounded legit to me but complicated.They setup a C-corp which establishes it's own 401(k) plan, your retirement 401(k) is rolled into the new one, and your newly established 401(k) invests in shares of the C-corp.It's not inexpensive to setup the legal entities, and the annual IRS 5500 filing would require asset valuations, which for my desired real estate holdings would mean an appraisal every year on top of their costs.So looks like it's doable but perhaps not very practical for my use-case

Rents in the area are over $900 / room for newly renovated homes.

I bought one of the 8 BRs in Champions Gate this year and themed it out all Disney style, which I think is a necessity in this market.I just launched it a couple weeks ago and already have about $10k on the books for Nov and $11k for Dec.

I have been coming to these  forums for years and can't express my gratitude enough for the amount you have all helped in me launching my career.
