I'm thinking about moving funds from a traditional IRA to a self directed IRA to be used for real estate.

I also have a ROTH IRA and ROTH TSP.

I'm also looking to switch my old 401k and ira's into a SDIRA, which should get me $150k. 

So my father has just moved his entire retirement fund into a Self-Directed IRA and wants to get into rentals!

Whether you're teaching capital raising concepts to investors, or teaching about ways to access capital, like with Self-Directed IRAs, HSAs, or other capital strategies like tapping into your equity.

Hello, I have a question about the refinance piece of the brrrr: I am able to put in all the money for the property and the rehab costs using my self directed IRA (it's ok if you aren't sure what that is).

You said it was "owned under IRA".

No custodian required.I have a self directed ROTH IRA and I don't file taxes.

See, he is considered to be a "Disqualified Person" to his IRA and the IRS rules clearly prohibit any personal involvement in IRA transactions.

A self-directed IRA would allow your mother to diversify these funds, but as has been noted, any intersection with you as a disqualified party to her IRA would be in violation of IRS rules.If you are well networked in real estate, I am sure you could help your mother find some private lending opportunities that make sense with other investors.
