Like you said, your own valuation should dictate your offer, and not following your own rules would end your real estate venture pretty quickly.At the end of the day both parties ideally walk away happy with the agreement they've reached, and if that happens at a number above, at or below LP depends so many market and situational factors that it's hard to know how someone will react to your offer.

@Kevin DarrellGenerally speaking, a self directed retirement plan can partner or joint venture.  

All the best on your real estate ventures!

You could always find a joint venture partner to finance the properties for you.

You can go into a Joint Venture with someone, borrow from a Portfolio Lender, borrow Private Money, work with a Hard Money Lender, etc. 

I am excited - tonight I'm buying my first house on a joint venture.  

Good luck in your ventures!
