Do you need to be an entity if investing with SD IRA

[Matthew Wright]

Do you need to use commercial loan and/or purchase under an entity if you are using an investors self directed IRA for the 20% down payment? or if one person was cash and the other was SDIRA (no bank at all)? Also, when buying and selling with a self directed IRA, is there a similar process as 1031, or are you smooth sailing, tax wise? I plan to get friends and relatives on board with using this method but want to educate myself on the details first. Any other tips regarding SDIRA for real estate would be greatly appreciated.
