If you had $50K in a Self direct IRA how would you leverage that to yield short and long term dividends? 

Has anybody invested in PPR within their Roth IRA? 

Many people invest in real estate using an SDIRA or even better a Checkbook IRA.

A 1031 exchange doesn’t apply, but funding through a self-directed IRA can defer taxes, though profits from debt financing may trigger UBIT.To reduce taxes, consider forming an LLC for better expense deductions, offsetting gains with investment losses, or holding the property for 12+ months to qualify for lower long-term capital gains rates.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

Depreciation Benefits via Leverage: While you can't claim depreciation personally on IRA-owned real estate, SDIRAs can use non-recourse loans to purchase property.

They do offer access to mutual funds, but I do not love this option.

If you’re interested in investing in real estate, you can consider doing so with a Self-Directed IRA to defer taxes on capital gains until you actually withdraw the funds from your IRA.

Quote from @Deborah Wodell: I’m looking to connect with private money lenders or investors who lend their own funds for real estate deals.

Quote from @John Aaron: Anyone know any hedge funds that’s buying right now and their buy box? 

Myself I used my own internal funds to prove my model.
