If I were you, I will buy a house with cosmetic work and learn the business first. 

But 1500 per month isn't that expensive if it helps you motivate, analyze, close and properly operate a self storage business it was just an investment in your growth towards your goals.

It's an unnecessary expense to operate the business.

Along with my 2 business partners I buy & build small micro-resorts and unique vacation rentals across the Appalachian region.

A self-directed 401(k) plan offers the small business owner one of the last significant tax benefits.

Would it be under the business tax id number which would be brand new (so no history yet) or would it be through me personally through my own credit report/history?

I had it customized to my business with a developer.

Most people don't get to say they had a SUCCESSFUL FIRST FLIP!  

@Tina LeeThe lengths that people go to avoid the $800 fee still surprises me.
