Absolutely Don any agent representing a seller would be a fool to partake in that type of transaction and most brokers I am sure wont allow their agents to do those transactions either..

Those who partake in prohibited transactions (which has nothing to do with UBTI) will not be so lucky, should they be audited for any reason in the future.Earlier this year, I even argued with someone in a thread over UBTI and various other 4-letter abbreviations, and how they didn't apply to my SDIRA (whether it's an SDIRA or an IRA LLC makes no difference as far as applicability of rules).  

@Joe Villeneuve  its opportunity cost is what HML are.. either get one and make money on the opportunity or never partake and make nothing ... that is why HML exist.

After reading through the responses, I have decided to partake on a journey in understanding everything about home renovations in order to properly evaluate capex on investment properties.After a day of reading through J Scott's Flipping/rehabbing books and watching YouTube videos, I now realize this is possible.

@Christopher Throop If you are only providing the funds and not partaking in the work, you will not incur SE taxes.

Rich,It almost sounds like you're partaking of some potent Cambodian grown weed :wink:

It will also sort out all of the tax cheats as they won't partake in any of the festivities.
