SDIRA - Prohibited Party

[Steve K]

Has anyone found a way to keep the IRS happy with prohibited transactions when it comes to direct lineal family, or is this a dead in the water issue?

Given the state of the market we're adding more spec builds and as always looking for new ways to fund. I have direct lineal family who would like to use an SDIRA to invest in a few of these but so far everything i've read is saying no go. Without involving non lineal family I don't see a way to make this work.

Has anyone found a way to make this work without getting convoluted? Figured i'd ask here before spending money for a legal opinion.

IMHO (not a lawyer, not a CPA) the IRS limitations are very clear. Lineal descendants and ancesorts are all prohibited parties and cannot invest IRA money with you.
