All transactions involving an IRA must be "arms length" and if it is not - such transaction will result in trouble for the account holder. 

I know a lot depends on the deal but I want to go in armed with the right questions.

Hard to beat a rate like that in 2018.I have an investment property ($260k value, $105k owed) - on a 3% ARM - (4 years in) and 3 years left before it resets.

I wonder if there is a service one could subscribe to or access which shows:- Total value of residential mortgage debt in the US- How that debt is grouped by fixed vs ARM rates- How thar debt cuts in terms of prime vs subprime- How are the monthly payments doing (on time vs late)- Proportion of foreclosures (growing or declining) - How much of the debt is primary residence vs investment - Average loan to value estimate My point is simple.

Make sure it explicitly explains the process for termination if you are unhappy with their services, but especially if they violate the terms of your agreement.3.

Sometimes that active look means you find out your rentals haven't been doing as well as you thought, but at least you're armed with the knowledge to re-deploy the equity.

Read up on non-arm's length transactions as I'm not sure you could even get the loan approved, anyway, which may be a good out for you if you're looking for one.
