@Stephen MenkeSuch transaction would run afoul with the following prohibited transaction rule:https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/plan-particip...However, if you are self-employed, you may want to consider transferring the IRA to a solo 401k plan and then processing a solo 401k participant loan. https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/retirement-pl...https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/one-participa...

Get a more in-depth feel for the types of deals that your new friends like to participate in, their risk tolerance, etc.Step #3- Find the appropriate deal that would be a good fit based on the criteria you learned in Step #2.Obviously there are a lot of nuances to buying property, forming syndications, etc but I just wanted to help kickstart you.If possible, I would rinse and repeat the above steps, while attending Dave Lindahl's Ultimate Partnering in September and @Gino Barbaro's event in October.
