I've seen meetings that were focused on flipping and then all of a sudden someone mentions self directed IRAs and pretty much hijacks the meeting for the next 45 minutes. 

My job is interesting, but I crave the freedom of self-employment. 

If you really don't then you can avoid tax and possible penalties (depending on age) by moving the IRA to a "self directed" IRA account. 

One thing to bear in mind is that flipping income is usually going to be considered self employment income.  

The investments are a mix of commercial property deals (self-storage storage, grocery anchored shopping center, small hotel, NNN developer misc parts of country).

Like with many self-help books, it's not rocket science, but it puts the concept into perspective by starting with the question that people often ask, "How much money do I need to retire tomorrow?".

We are both self employed but show very little on our tax returns.

It makes sense for a private owner/self manager.Lastly, if the resident does not take possession within 5 days of the start of the lease after indicating they will not be, we post and mail an abandoned property notice with a 48 hour response window, then start the deposit accounting process. 

How about your self.

Are you looking for an "almost self directed" IRA at a custodian?
