Is this a building you see yourself owning for an extended period of time and/or if you were to sell the building will there be a satisfactory return on the heavy lift capex  investment that's necessary?

@Robin Cornacchio  Theoretically you could but your ira doesn’t have any credit so nobody will likely extend credit to it. 

I plan on extending my wings far and wide in terms of location.

Your service grants you a great opportunity and your VA benefits can extend to multiple properties and you can discuss that with your VA lender.

Once your construction loan starts, most banks will not extend any more credit once construction has started.  2.

Quote from @Isabel Andrade: Hello , My husband and I would like to extend our network and meet some investors / inspiring investors.

But if you buy four $200K houses then it's apples to apples and you're not going to fall behind.For what it's worth, I'd be concerned that if you over extend yourself buying a primary home you'll create a larger scale issue than just being house poor.

Yet they have had to close 32 rural hospitals because of their refusal to extend Medicaid.

None of this speaks well for owning property in an IRA.While trying to find related examples, I found another argument I would have certainly lost regarding accounting for a checkbook controlled IRA LLC: “Providing un-tracked accounting services for your own IRA LLC can result in a both an excess contribution and a prohibited transaction.”http://www.prweb.com/releases/2011/02/prweb4300264.htmAccording to the article, “Although there are some exemptions for services provided to a retirement investment plan, they do not extend to services provided to entities owned by the plan.”I guess you guys are right.

You'll be over extended that 100k real fast and now if something goes wrong you just learned a very expensive lesson.100k and using financing is enough to start though.
