Can I ever buy a property from my SDIRA?

[Michael Mahoney]

I have a rental property that’s in my SDIRA that I would like to purchase from it to live in in my retirement.  Is there a way to do that?

If so, would the SDIRA be able to finance the transaction, in whole or in part, as “Seller Financing”?

I know that you can do a distribution in kind from your SDIRA to yourself if you are over 59 1/2 and you would have to pay income tax on it just like any other distribution from an IRA but I don’t think you could do seller financing. I’m pretty sure that would be a prohibited transaction but you need to ask your custodian, they should be able to give you your answer.
