Best SDIRA with lowest fees?

2 accounts total $1.5 million for this.

Any that allow to keep unused cash invested in income generating financial investment options.

Intentions is to invest in multi-family deals. My understanding is I can only invest as a passive investor in other people's deals and not in my own deal where I may be a general partner or full owner.

Yes, if you are eligible. Solo 401K is not for everyone, to qualify you must be self-employed or own a small business without full time employees.

    Most SDIRA companies will allow you to invest in anything you want. Your understanding of how it works is spot on in most cases.

    Probably the best approach for you would be to use a "Checkbook IRA". This way you can eliminate all transaction and asset-based fees normally charged by the custodian. Given the amount you have in your IRA those fees would be measured in hundreds of dollars if not more. With checkbook IRA you pay nominal custodian fee (under $200/yr) and have "checkbook control" so you won't have to go through the custodian for each transaction.

    Correct, all investments must be "arms length", make sure you understand IRS Prohibited Transaction rules:

    Thanks. 
    Can I go for Solo 401k instead as that seems to minimize fees and paperwork for each transaction.
