Self-directed IRA risk when litigation is involved

[Edwin Cruz]

I need comments because after searching I was unable to find any information regarding a specific self-directed IRA question.

I'm planning on using my self-directed IRA to do a flip and fix. So if something goes horribly wrong (litigation) are both (or all) my regular IRA and my self- directed IRA liable? How should I structure the deal? Normally, any and all retirement accounts are except from litigation if an individual gets sued, so all of my IRA/pension funds are protected.

For all of you with this knowledge: please comment and don’t hesitate; I’m not asking for legal advice or opinion just general information.
