@Nate B.You might check with your local self storage realtor expert to see what cap rates other self storages are going for. 30 units is on the smaller side, so it might be harder to find comps.At 8% cap rate, your facility would be worth $315,000 at your projected NOI.

Both the Solo 401K and self-directed IRA can be used in any real estate investment opportunity that your personal cash can.

It can be really time consuming to self-manage a property (the average self-manager spends 8 hours a week doing so), and if a manager is able to provide a guaranteed rental income without charging a commission fee, it often makes sense to pass off the work to someone else.Where is your vacation condo, and have you been happy with your current management situation? 

The benefit of the Roth treatment is the tax-free growth you can earn while keeping the money working in the retirement plan.If your goal is to purchase a property personally, a 401k participant loan may be a better route, assuming you have access to such.As a self employed realtor, you may wish to explore the idea of a Solo 401k plan.  

Smile to your self as you're going from property to property.

If you sharpen your focus, I think you'll find some great people here and more importantly, you'll learn to self educate.  

Forget the self help and feel good books. 

Excited to connect with like-minded individuals that are motivated and driven like my self to succeed and really make a name for them selves.

If your stocks/investments are in an IRA, you may be able to invest via a self-directed IRA in order to avoid paying taxes right now.

It is a short sale (price approved) and when the bank realized that the buyer (me) was also the agent, they turned around and said that they would not be paying me a commission as it is "self dealing".I find it low of them to do this, but I guess in this business you see all faces.My question is that of the legality of not paying out the commission.
