They are uneducated on real estate, so their advice is usually horrible and works against you. 

But I've been trying to justify house hacking, and without using an FHA loan (I'd rather not pay the extra insurance) I'm finding it hard to see the benefits.

I always watch out for the “money is no object” line because it usually means they don’t plan on paying. 

Once my emergency fund is set and my retirement contributions are maxed out, I will happily co-invest in my Funds because that'll be the best place to put my extra money.$100k is a reasonable investment for a JV for those that do that.

I'm new so take it for what it's worth.Sellers typically use pro forma numbers, which are usually BS.

I'm currently a freelance designer, and I have a lot of extra time that I'd love to devote to this.

If this sounds like a fit for you and you need the extra help please reach out to me on this platform. 

Our tax records here in Harrison County aren't quite as good as in some other parts of the country, you've got to piece all the info together from old and usually out of date records.Do you have any properties you're currently looking in to?

Do I have to prepare extra money in my self directed Roth IRA for maintenance/repair/tax/insurance if I invest SDIRA into  LLC ?

Limit the extra noise that may come from having to broad of a scope.
