For scenario 2, LLC owns and asset, you own interest in LLC, so you indirectly own an asset. 

They'll collect your email and phone number and send you deals directly.If you want to take a direct approach to getting deals on your own, you could get in direct contact with homeowners who are interested in selling their home but haven't listed the house for sale yet.

I am not an investor but am in direct mail so if you ever want to chat marketing let me know.

Indirect prohibited transaction IS a prohibited transaction.

You'll want to look at indirect things such as "warnings to residents not to leave food scraps in hallways" or "needing to replacing damaged wiring" etc. 

@Greg WrightHaving a property owned partially by your IRA and partially by a LLC you own personally is a whole set of problems on its own and not something generally recommended.Even if that were the case, no, you could not do what you propose.There may be no direct or indirect benefit between an IRA and a disqualified party, in either direction. 

This could be done in direct contravention of establish statutes and case law, or it could be done with some ‘rationale’ like saying that your LP or LLC is invalid, or is considered your ‘alter-ego’.

I appears Clayton Morris Indirectly responded to the Ocean Pointe ordeal in his LIVE video YouTube today.

So yes, there may be an indirect hit on flippers who will find fewer buyers.

@Ken NeusaengerYour strategy has several issues with respect to IRS guidelines.In exchange for tax-sheltered status in an IRA, the IRS rules prohibit any direct or indirect benefit, in either direction, between you and the IRA.Simply from the starting point of you buying a parcel personally and having the IRA buy the rest, you have introduced risk.Any services associated with the property must be performed by an unrelated 3rd party.
