Thanks for the support, I appreciate the assist on the podcast @jerrypuckett.

This structure will place some responsibilities on you as trustee and administrator so be sure to utilize the provider who offers support and help you navigate through requirements and keep your plan in compliance.Then after your plan is established, you can use those plan documents to open non-prototype retirement account at Fidelity, which will allow you to buy and sell stocks and also offer you the ability to have checkbook control to invest in alternative assets.

You should make sure you have some independent data to support your per bedroom rent.

Chances are you won't have a lot of people in your corner supporting your idea so be strategic in who you ask for advice.So my "lifestyle design" in a nutshell- I started my own company that I work on whenever I want.

I'm hoping the support here will help me take that step.

I do not keep a vacancy fund because I have minimal leverage, again because I am putting income back in so I can afford that, though most people's investment model would not support this.
