Will Banks Lend When Using IRA to Purchase Property?

[Jordan Decuir]

I am thinking if using a self-directed IRA to purchase my next rental property. I am just now looking into the subject for the first time, so maybe this is a stupid question: Can I leverage the IRA funds with a conventional bank loan on the purchase? E.g. Can I take $25,000 of self-directed IRA funds, use that as 25% down and obtain a Fannie/Freddie mortgage loan to purchase a $100,000 property?
