Feel free to connect if you have any specific questions about, but this is the best general advise.

Hi, Just bought a unit via LLC in Nashville area, specifically in Berry Hill to operate as STR.

As others have suggested, you can actually buy property with a specific IRA account.

But before I even get into identifying specific properties, I need to first get smarter about some of the other things I put in my post.
