Is It Better To Hold SFR Investments Inside Or Outside An IRA or 401K?

I have a self directed 401K which would allow me to buy real estate inside the plan. I have a local friend that invests and he hold RE outside his retirement plan. I am curious as to the pros and cons of both avenues. I am buying SFR outside my plan at the moment. What do the pro's do?

Thanks!
