I'll have to do a better job of pointing this out in the lease or maybe add a 1 page 'Rules of Engagement': A straight forward, no bs, bullet pointed list of expectations of tenant.

I checked with Satchie Carvounis at Security Trust and she confirmed that: No the IRS rules don't address this situation, it simply states that the IRA can't engage in any transaction with a prohibited party.

They have been around quite some time and have an established track record so I expect to engage their services as soon as I have a deal locked up.
