As stated earlier in the thread, you can self manage your own rentals.

It always depends on what kind of investing you want to get involved in and assets you have to work with that are liquid or can be made liquid like a 401k transferred into a self-directed IRA for example.

Maybe find a local private lender (self-directed retirement account) that will lend with not much underwriting.

Since you are self employed a Solo 401k  is a great advantage vs an IRA.

Good Evening, I have run into the roadblock of trying to find a bank that will open up an business account - with an LLC that is owned by a self directed retirement account. 

Too many new, and experienced agents, spread them self too thin and are mediocre at a lot of different things.

I’ve found several good ones on self storage and other subsets of property investing.

Are you self managing these?

Currently, I am self employed operating in a single member LLC in California.

Hi all,Wondering if anyone has any advice for the best way of paying for a down payment for an out of state investment (not owner occupied).I'm in contingency for a $200k property that I'll be putting 25% down on so I estimate close to $60k in upfront costs.I have the following pools to choose from:$20k in savings$28k in a self-directed Roth IRA (18k of which is principal)and almost $100k in a company sponsored 401kI've heard various things this year with regard to opportunities to pull from 401k without penalties, but I'm still unclear on all the ramifications.
