During my average D1 college baseball career, I took a huge interest in investing in stocks/real estate and acquired a couple degrees in Economics and Entrepreneurial Studies with a minor in Marketing.My partners and I formed a vacation rental management company about a year ago and are in the process of scaling in our current markets and expanding into new markets that make sense.

Rather, you are comparing your IRA in alternative assets to your IRA that was limited to the stock market.

If Biden wins and the Senate goes back to the Dems the long-term capital gains tax essentially doubles to 39.6%Of course, this will cause investors to sell prior to the tax change going into effect = large stock market drop (giving almost 40% to the government in taxes because I made a good investment is ridiculous... heck, giving them 20% is still ridiculous).

What makes a self-directed IRA custodian different is that they are not purely connected to the public exchanges and limited to investing in stocks, bonds and funds, but rather have the staff training and paperwork to document the IRA's investment in the more individualized transactions that occur when investing in real estate, notes and other non-traditional assets.

Over the long run I think these measures are hurting everyone but for those of us that can overcome these challenging times I predict rents to continue to increase, housing stock to drop which increases competition for our properties and lowers turnover, and we will make it through this.   

If nothing were to change for me financially, that would result in me having all my living expenses paid (based on current rental cash flow) plus an additional $2K of expendable income, which I would probably invest in the stock market at that point. 

They have cabinets..https://www.prosourcewholesale...Also for construction materials, drywall, stucco, https://www.fbmsales.com/I often use online retailers for my rehabs - they come in cheaper even with delivery charges - especially if you are buying items in bulk...here are some suggestions.https://www.builderssurplus.ne...https://www.wayfair.com/home-i...https://www.overstock.com/Home...There are some really discounted suppliers if you dig online, also I use Craigslist and eBay - builders sell their surplus stock on Craigslist and eBay and flippers and home owners sell excess units and removed units in good and bad condition via these channels..Hope that helps..

Could invest more in RE rentals vs. stocks and ETF's...trying to eliminate taxes altogether and, of course, cash flow is a must/positive, but would like to keep from paying Uncle Sam if I can figure out depreciation.
