Hello all,I'll try and keep it short.

Long story short in order to use rental income they will need your lease agreements or tax returns depending on how long you had the property as a rental. 

The "Live and Flip" idea could work if you're okay with a short-term plan.

Many people who choose to self direct their retirement funds choose to become a private lender and either go through brokers who pool money together and loan short term to fix and flippers as an example. 

Long story short, it hasn’t gone great so far, and I’m in need of guidance and mentorship.  

His short videos are gold.

Remember, small steps lead to big journeys.

Thoughts on investing in a STR in Reunion Resort in Orlando, Fl?

I find my deals off-market and do some cosmetic updates.In short, it's not for everyone and many will fail trying to run this playbook from out of state (or even locally).There are still areas and markets that work, you just need to be more creative or willing to put more work in than you did in the past.

Short answer is no, you don't need it.
