Hi Jordan, I would encourage exploring markets like Merced as well but it depends on your strategy.

Whether you're looking at rental properties, fix-and-flips, or any other investment strategy, the possibilities are boundless.

I have been a property manager for 12 years in Atlantic Canada and now venturing into the investment world with JV partners using STR as our strategy in Arizona along with other states we find deals in. 

BRRR works for some people, but there are many other creative strategies that might work better for a SDIRA.

For example, you could cash-out refinance the property to and use the cash downpayment to fund your next property.You can also move out of the primary resident, rent it out (for 2+ years) and do a 1031 exchange, which would defer the taxes.A Deferred Sale Trust is another strategy, where you can sell the property to a trust in exchange for a promissory note.

What type of properties/strategies are you interested in?

My situation is that I wonder if I can use being a real estate agent as a strategy to save on taxes by creating a solo 401k.

I also would look into the MTR strategy.

Our strategy is to buy and sell once the builder completes selling all the houses in the community.The base price of the house they're selling is $420K, but the model house, with all upgrades, is priced at $450K.
