I'd like this post to serve as an introduction to the people in Upstate New York here on BP.

@Jill L Ripley hey Jill!

We're walking distance from many restaurants (serving takeout) and the Chesapeake Bay.

This serves two purposes.

Then, and only then, should you consider establishing a plan and finding a service provider that can serve your needs.A self-directed IRA or Solo 401(k) is not a means for YOU to invest in real estate and have access to tax-sheltered capital for the purpose.Rather, these vehicles are a means for you to deploy your tax-sheltered retirement savings into investments that are more diversified in nature and perhaps align with expertise you may have in a specific asset class. 

Those cute email snapshots don't mean anything - post your P&L. 

My strength is 1) analyzing properties, 2) managing P&L, and 3) managing properties.

This would be much easier come tax time to do a quick P&L for your CPA from the overview of one account as it directly pertained to the properties alone.
