In case you are eligible for the Solo 401k, here are some of the benefits it would offer compared to a self-directed IRA:Solo 401k contributions limits are roughly ten times higher than IRA limitsThere is no custodial requirement for the 401kYou don't need the additional expense and administration of an LLC to have checkbook controlThere is a built in-Roth component whereas IRAs are either traditional or Roth, not bothA spouse can also participate in the same Solo 401k planThe Solo 401k has additional tax benefits over an IRA when investing into real estate using leverageThe penalties for prohibited transactions are less severe, though it's best not to utilize this benefit :)
