Hi BP experts,Everybody knows the advantages of self-directed IRA's as opposed to the ones we get from Fidelity/JP Morgan Chase/Merrill Lynch etc.

Granted one has a great credit history and a sum sufficient for a down payment. 

Does anyone have any advice?  I am going to start reading today, but is there any advice on how to do it?  What to specifically pay attention to according to the tests?  Should i take the chapter practice quizzes firs...

Of course, it's possible your PM company has amended or omitted such a clause to protect their own self interests. 

If each of us signs title on a property is that sufficient protection or would an LLC be more beneficial?

To refinance do the lenders look at my income or rental income is sufficient to qualify for loan? 

I am looking to invest into flipping houses (all the work being done by other people) using my Roth IRA as a self directed account and have a few questions:1) What SDRIRA management company would be best for this type of investment (lowest fees and best service)?

At best if you financially qualify for a conventional loan from a traditional lender,you can get an FHA loan with 3.5 percent down if you live in it with the tenants.You will need a good job and good credit with sufficient income to qualify for that loan.Otherwise,you're looking at hard money loans with 20%or 30% down and several points upfront and a higher interest rate around 7% for a minimum of two years before you can refinance to prove you can manage the loans and make payments without problems.That's how professional investors do it normally.

I just bought a self-storage which is filling up really quickly.  

Shameless self promotion used to be discouraged.
