Flipping a house with a Self Directed IRA

[Michael Outar]

I am purchasing a SFR with a self-directed IRA along side a non-recourse loan. Much question is this. This home has flipping potential but I will not have enough reserves in the IRA to do all the improvements. Is there any way of getting the funds to do the upgrades without making a contribution into the IRA? Is there any loopholes or possibilities of using my own money without having to make a contribution to do the improvements. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
