By contrast, passive forms of income like interest, dividends, royalties, rent from real property, or the sale of an asset held over time to produce such passive income will not have tax liability, and are therefore more suitable for an IRA.Your IRA "broker" (actually a custodian) is passive in nature and does not vet your investments for compliance with the law.  

Ultimately what you decide to do is up to you.Have you considered exchanging into a DST or mineral rights royalties rather than direct RE at 8% interest?

This is how the affluent and royalty have preserved their wealth through the millennium, regardless of what currencies have come and gone. 

Or gas and mineral rights royalty fund at 10-15% annualized cash flow and just always have $100k passive income and no headache or phone calls. 

I have also invested in oil field royalties, such as Permian Basin Trust.

My best passive investment we purchased for $300k and the first year received royalty of almost $300k.  

Or selling, paying the taxes, and investing in an oil and gas mineral rights royalty fund?

Thus, Section 8 housing is a royalty gifted by the government for people in need.

Find a good tenant and treat them like royalty" - I believe Michael Swan said this on a recent podcast

Don't forget to send me some royalties once you made it to the top.
