Quote from @Ed Fortenberry:
Hi all,
As stated, I'm transitioning from building my small residential portfolio to creating a commercial (multi-family) one. I'm using my self directed IRA so will need to work with non-recourse lenders. Getting started I will be looking for smaller (5-16 units) properties in tertiary markets. I look forward to connecting.
Thanks,
Ed

Hey BP community. I currently is a local SDIRA company but their fees seem really high. Looking for recommendation on the best SDIRA for my retirement assets in RE. Thanks!
There are different types of setups. Basic SDIRA where you have to go through the custodian for all transactions and checkbook IRA where you don't. Depending on your situation a Solo 401k may be the better option. Checkbook will cost more initially to set up but way less over time since no transaction/per asset fees like in the basic structure. If you're self employed at all and have no full time non-owner, non-spouse employees and the money you're rolling in is NOT Roth IRA funds then take a serious look at Solo 401k.

Hello! I am getting ready to purchase my first rental property through my self directed solo 401k and wanted to see if anyone had some tips and tricks other than the prohibited transactions. I'm using a turnkey company to ensure no issues from the beginning. Thanks in advance!
Will you be using leverage? Here’s a list of non-recourse lenders you can call through if you don’t already have one: https://www.biggerpockets.com/member-blogs/2810/50272-list-o...
Be sure to keep accurate bookkeeping records for the Solo 401k in case the IRS ever comes sniffing around.
Godspeed on the purchase!

@Brett Synicky A solo 401k is only exempt to the extent of acquisition debt. Promotors usually leverage out at least once. You are correct that prescribed expenses reduce UBIT, but for how long?

Looking to lend against my 401k for some flips, but I want to work with a team that has flipped before in or around the Bay Area. Sacramento is okay too. If this sounds like you or a team you know, please let me know!
Or something else?
Exactly. Loan against a portion of my 401k. My income is high. Across the rest of the US, it's very high. But am looking to reduce risk by working with an existing team that does flips. I have others interested in investing as well, but we want a team who knows what they're doing.
Interesting. Are you confident the spread is going to be high enough to be worth it? I mean the loan will be prime plus 1 or 2%. So that's 8.5 or 9.5%. Yeah you're paying the retirement account back but that's not your money until distribution so I'm asking about the personal funds, does it make sense? I'm genuinely curious about this.
