I have a self directed IRA.

:)btw you can move a company 401K upon quiting to a Sd-IRA, if you don't qualify for a solo 401k.

A Self Direct IRA is another option, but it does not have the freedom of a solo 401k.  

Hi - we have 22k in a traditional IRA and wanted to see if there any strategies for investing this rather than letting it sit.

--Non Recourse Self Directed IRA loan;  I could put this house into my SD-Roth IRA and end up having to put down 40%+ on the house to secure a loan (that's if they would lend that low of an amount to purchase the home)Those are the only options I can think of and I'm not sure which is the best, or looks more feasible and successful to in use to acquire the home.  

Here are some ideas-You could partner with your Roth IRA (using a Self Directed Account) to purchase a rental property to gain monthly rent that would go both to you and your IRA  depending on how the deal was structured.

Hi everyone, pleased to be here.I'm a software developer living in the bay area (Concord, specifically), who's interested in purchasing rental property, and eventually doing more real estate investing.Some stats about me:- I'm 28 (I turn 29 tomorrow)- Married (for 6 years)- My wife is also a software developer- I own a home in the bay area as my primary residence (600k)- My wife and I are currently maxing out my tax-beneficial accounts (401ks, IRAs)- Outside of tax-beneficial accounts, my wife and I invest in ETFs, etc.- I'm a novice to real estate investing, so am currently in the learning/discovery phase.A few of the things I'm currently thinking about:- Should I even consider the option of purchasing rental properties near where I live?

I have a Roth IRA for Kids account at Fidelity - but would like for him to 'own' this in his name - if legally allowed.
