It sounds like you have a good plan and that you are self identifying the inefficiencies in your processes!

This looks like a great deal, my only questions would be:1) Are you self-managing the property?

With that being said, I have a good amount of money in my savings account and I want to open an IRA account (Roth or Self Directed) so I can invest in mutual funds and stocks etc.

Hi, I am a 25 year old and have a good amount of money in my savings account and I want to open an IRA account (Roth or Self Directed) so I can invest in mutual funds and stocks etc.

Even if you are self-managing, I think it's an important cost to account for in case you decide you don't want to self-manage.

Here's where a good knowledge of self-directed retirement funds comes in lotsa handy.

I have an opportunity to purchase a class A self storage facility in the Midwest that's 85% occupied for $11,200/unit. 20% of the units are climate controlled.

Almost all real estate agents are self employed and get paid 100% on commission.

However, after 2-3 months of researching/self-educating, an opportunity presented itself in that a friend from the gym bought a new house, but it was contingent on them selling their current.

Preliminary research shows costs of coverage that are 3x to 4x that of my current employer.So my question, to those who are self employed or successfully walked away from your W2, how are you handling health and dental coverage?
