Borrowing Against Self Directed IRA
Hey everyone, I have a 401k from a previous employer that I was planning on moving into a self directed IRA. I just was wondering if you are allowed to borrow on margin with it? I'm sure every place is different but I wasn't able to locate concrete rules from the companies I looked up. My goal would be to use that to invest into real estate. Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks!

you can not borrow against IRA, IRS rules do not allow using IRA as a collateral.
