This is a crucial update for our community, especially if you’re using an IRA-owned LLC to fund your real estate investments.However, there's a silver lining for Solo 401(k) holders: this new rule doesn't apply to your investment vehicle.Why is the CTA Being Implemented?

The other plus is you would essentially be bringing cash to the investment table instead of real estate collateral backed loans which require much more stringent underwriting.

I realize it's a preference and if 'the masses' want it they'll eventually implement it.

I'm certainly trying to take note and implement the valuable information that I'm learning from the BP community.

From what I'm gathering, here's what I'm seeing:Larger- better economies of scale- lower cost PSF/unit- lower up front cost for more- maintenance overtime can be costly- an alternative would be passive investing into a larger fundSmaller- more favorable financing- easier entry market- larger pool of buyers when it comes time to sell- spreading your eggs into different baskets- less stringent code regulations- can still be professionally managedOverall, I think that the small apartments route can still be a a great pool for deals due to the quantity of them and general supply/demand needs.

@Jairhad HemmonsI am not an expert at this matter, but based off the basic knowledge I attained from being on Biggerpockets, here is the situation:I don't think you can use the house as a down payment to pay for another property, you will still need to have actual cash to use as a down payment, especially with the stringent policies on investment properties set up by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

A good strategy that I am implementing is to first connect with other investors, then move your way through other important professionals and then finally start networking with brokers.

I will implement some of your creative ideas into my decisions making.

@Kevin Sobilo I believe that you would just wait until the refinance of the property to really implement the system for that property.

Note: I have not reviewed the Geargia Code (OCGA) and cannot endorse my OA implementation for your particular case.
