Hey @Matt Agnew I would get a friend or someone who knows you to lend THEIR IRA money to YOUR IRA.

While I do maintain a relatively modest percentage of my assets in money market instruments, corporate debt funds, and high dividend stocks, I remain most comfortable with the investments I specialize in and know best.  

@Tanner Davis If you want to pursue either a fix/flip or BRRRR strategy, it sounds like you might need to find a partner/investor that knows you well and believes enough in you as a person to invest money in a project. 

Donating money to large (FEMA, Red Cross), local organizations or Go Fund Me pages would be the quickest way.

If it is, why can't you buy similar properties that you are renting with the money you make.If you get $200,000 annually(split proceeds with the other owner), you should be able to buy almost any type of property.

You make a go of it, but a year later you run out of money.
