RE Investment with an IRA that is not self directed

[Denise Frazier]

Question from a newbie. I have 5k in Roth IRA and 20k in Traditional IRA. The 20k was rolled over from old 401k. They are sitting in bank doing nothing. I would like to pull them and put them in an investment property. I'm guessing since I'm not 59 1/2 I will pay 10% penalty on both but taxes on one the traditional since I've had the Roth for 10 years. The taxes would be paid with regular income tax right? then I could deduct the expanses for fixing the property at that time? Clear as mud. Any input would be great.

For the Roth IRA you can withdraw your contributions without penalty or taxes. Earnings would have the penalty.
