Using Self Directed IRA to fund downpayment

[Ben Matiella]

Hello all, general question: if there are 2 partners looking to invest in a SFR or small multifamily, where one provides the down payment and the other manages the property, makes payments etc. Can the person pay the downpayment from a self-directed IRA if they themselves will never live in the property, and their equity goes back into their IRA upon sale of the property in the future?
