SELF-DIRECTED IRA SWAPS

[David Jayne]

I've been reading a lot about purchasing RE with self-directed IRAs. This topic intrigues me, but I'm concerned about all of the restrictions, particularly regarding prohibited transactions and disqualified persons.

Has anyone set up an arrangement with another person to address those concerns? i.e., my SDIRA will buy your properties for $x, while your SDIRA will buy my properties for $x...

Maybe it would be better to bring in a third partner and set up an LLC in order to keep everyone's % below 50%, which would get around the disqualified person issue?

These funds just seem like such a gold mine if you can tap into them. Legally...
