In other words, what advice might you give your 19 year old self! 

@Keshav KolurThere are quite a few self-directed IRA providers to chose from as you have probably noticed.

STR Is non passive on C w/ self employment tax if less than 7 days average and substantial services are provided If they tell you something differently than those answers Keep looking. 

If you both agree when you split then you can change the agreement and do whatever you agree to do.I like the self help legal books from Nolo Press.

This is considered self promotion.

We have clients that self insure and we have clients that over insure. 

I'm working on selling a 10 unit multi family and buying 2 self storage facilities on a 1031.

Make sure you check out all that this site has to offer.I really like the alerts feature that can quickly guide you to current topics that may be of interest: http://www.biggerpockets.com/alertsThere are a few self-contained guides that you can access here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/guides

I would add property management, which will put you upside down on cash flow, so effectively, by self managing you are making less as a manager than another PM would likely charge you.  

This site is great if you are looking to invest into real estate, wholesaling, flipping, rentals, lending, self-directed IRA and Solo 401k investing, crypto, or tax and legal guidance.The site has quite a few tools that can be helpful for new members.
