I do pretty decent for my age, and I live at home still, so I've been saving up a lot of money.

Eliminate debt, establish a budget, and save.

With an SDIRA, you can invest in long-term rentals while preserving your retirement savings, but you must follow strict IRS rules:1.

Plus, if you aren't able to get approved with what you've got now in terms of savings, credit, etc. you can learn on what you need to qualify so you know what to be working towards. 

Literally to save their lives.

@Jacob HavlovickBigger Pockets is a great place to find a real estate tax accountant.A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

There are very few lenders that will allow you to close in a personal name in FL.

@Brice Alef-TorrisiHaving one checking account per property is an excellent way to keep your property finances separate from one another and your personal finances.

There is an amount that you can distribute from an IRA account to purchase a personal residence.You then might be able to turn the personal residence into an investment property.Best of luck.
