LTV will be a bit lower than you may get in a personally guaranteed loan, so be sure to speak with some lenders like North American Savings Bank or First Western Federal Savings early in your strategy planning.The IRA can then use that new liquidity to make other investments such as purchasing another property, being a hard money lender, etc.The use of debt-financing within an IRA does expose the IRA to taxation on Unrelated Debt-Financed Income (UDFI).
