While every IRA is the same in that they follow the same rules and have the ability to invest in the same assets, a self directed acct is unique.A self directed acct is specifically an IRA acct that is with a custodian that allows you to make the decisions as to what you invest in within the confines of allowable investments per the IRS.

So ours is actually located under our front stoop and the layout was pretty confined by the space we were working with.

And this isn't confined to Investors.

Hi @Kole Kingslien, I also enjoy using Cozy for my rental.

If LTV is high - over 75-80% - we may also require pledging of other assets (such as being registered against a second property).The terms of the mortgage can be anything you and the lender agree upon - within the confines of the law.  

My realtor feels strongly that the town would NOT allow the 3rd floor to be it's own unit as they are trying to keep the community confined to single families and duplexes so hopefully adding it as part of the second unit is an option.

two that we use are venmo,  intuit,  cozy.  

I have also heard being confined on a small island isn't for everyone, especially if you are used to something different. 

I use cozy.

There are services out there such as Cozy and other rent collection services that work just fine for plenty of guys but relying on another company for pipelining the income stream makes me nervous.
