Send me a DM and let's get on the phone, I can walk you through the process.Also, see my thread about one of our active development deals, which outlines almost the entire process (not done yet, but soon): https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/44/topics/427...

The only downside for me (besides debt service) is the opportunity cost of not having the money actively invested. 

While appraisers do need to include actives/pendings in their report, a sold comparable will carry primary weight.

We are both searching for avenues to increase our active and passive income in the Denver Metro area.

The cost is that you need to pay to create an LLC and keep it active yearly.

I''m currently Active duty in Hawaii, contract ends in 2020, love it out here but can't wait to get back home.

I created a FB page (Military Owned And Operated Rental Homes) for all active duty military members to list their properties for free.

Should we expect more or less of this activity under stagflation?

@Cecilia Arnulphi I normally suggest to hit up the state specific forum but Rhode Island is such a small state there might not be that much activity there.

Bryan,Here are the 3 main options to consider:1) Custodial self-directed IRA, lower upfront cost but watch out for transaction and asset based fees, have to go through custodian for every transaction, might be inconvenient for certain investments. 2) Checkbook IRA (aka Checkbook IRA), eliminate transaction fees, higher upfront cost because of special purpose LLC, but long term will provide savings and most importantly a convenience of having checkbook control over your retirement assets. 3) Truly self-directed Solo 401k, requires self-employment activity or small business, the best option if you qualify.
