I see every investor has a unique set of circumstances and different appetite for risk. 

Do you think the regulators are going to attack your niche like they have attacked..

There are a lot of approval requirements unique to this area to be aware of if you're not already familiar.

For example, purchasing property - together with your IRA - that is adjacent to property that you own can be a prohibited transaction if you benefit from controlling the contiguous properties.That type of prohibited transaction is not unique to co-investing with your IRA, but such structures are more likely to encounter self-dealing. 

Co-working has become a crowded space in NYC -- it's important to focus on a niche aspect that clients can't get from powerhouse WeWork.

I look for new niches

Your niche take on turnkey sounds interesting, I'd love to talk to you more about it at some point over the next few days@Derrick Dill Thanks for the perspective of the balance between cash flow and appreciation based on market.

Of course, we know the first investment in any niche is always a bit nerve wracking, especially if its out-of-state - you're putting down a lot of money and entrusting people across the country to turn it into more money over the course of several years, and we know that's ..... a bit intense.

Each situation is unique and while one option may fit 75% of the people in that situation, it's hard to tell who those 25% outliers are going to be.My best recommendation is to get with a real estate knowledgeable CPA, go through a long session where you outline your business goals, retirements goals, other sources of income, etc and have them tailor a plan that works for all (or most) of your goals.

Also I see a lot of reference to 20k that’s the total package that you probably won’t need to do until you’re actually investing and want to explore other niches.
