Hi

I wanted to hear the opinion on self directed IRAs?

I have a good friend who I have some interest in working with. Looking at about 20k from my retirement at 15% and 1 year term.

What questions should I be asking? Anything specific that I need to ask for in the contract? Any advice would be greatly helpful!

so my rental has been sitting on the market for a month and a half now. I've gotten a few showings but only one really interested prospective tenant who actually showed. everything on their app and credit report look good. I also have a good vibe about them. only concern is that they have 4 dogs, 3 of which are American pit bulls that are around 40 pounds each. 1 is a pomeranian. I have a monthly pet fee for each pet ($50 for one and $35 for each thereafter). my thinking was that this fee should more than cover any potential damage I can think of. but I'm still a little weary. should I rent to them?
