@Nathan Gesner echoing @Kira DAnnunzio - I'd also love to see your two early termination agreements, if still possible.

Here is the example we followed which is we used the custodian name and ein:Completing IRS Form W-9 for a Self-Directed IRA or Solo 401(k) - IRA Financial

@Kira VodenCongrats on your second duplex — that’s awesome momentum!

VTI is my top pick for a 401-k ,IRA etc... back to topic here in the Midwest a few paid  off SFH in a A-B area with other passive  streams say 5k to 8K a month with no debt can work I was frugal sill am hard for me to undo the whole frugal thing . 

Some people use their 401(k), IRA, Pension, TSP, RRSP to invest.

@Kira Voden  Why month to month? 

Unlike a 401(k), IRAs don’t allow loans.

@Kira Golden I am not interested in syndications, but want to have control and gain the experience. 

@Kira Golden.

This can be a 401(k), IRA, Roth IRA, SEP, SIMPLE, HSA, ESA.
