Furnishing a Self-Directed IRA Purchased Rental

A few years ago I converted a few 401K's into one self-directed/checkbook IRA. I setup an LLC that facilitates the financial transactions on behalf of the IRA.

I recently purchased a vacation rental via the LLC, from which the proceeds will go back into the IRA account. My question:

Assuming all purchases are made via the IRA LLC, I'm assuming I can furnish the rental, and this would not be considered a "prohibited transaction"?

Thanks in advance.

@Justin Windham  and @Dmitriy Fomichenko.  Thanks for the thoughtful answers.  One of the reasons I love SD 401k's - a small error such as inadvertently providing a "service" doesn't blow up the entire account.  PT's are penalized, but nearly as heavily as is the case in an IRA.
