Self Directed IRA Cashflow

[Jennifer S.]

I've been reading up on the Self-Directed IRA, and from what I've found is that any cash flow/profit goes back into the SD-IRA. How does one legally obtain funds from a SD-IRA for basic living expenses if the purpose of your rental property is to replace your normal 9-5 income? Is the SD-IRA not the best vehicle for a rental property if you need to have access to the cash flow for your own personal daily expenses?
