This means that the lender does not have any recourse agains you personally nor your IRA, the only security for the loan is the property itself.

@Chris Williams  I believe that you are talking about the distinction between a traditional IRA and a Roth IRA. 

Hello Parth,We rolled our 401K into a self directed IRA for real estate. 

I've already learned a lot from the old podcasts and from some discussions on the forums.I've been investing with my SD IRA (CamaPlan is a great custodian, I have no financial interest) since 2012, in my business since 2014.  

Above/beyond what I'm putting away in 401k/IRA/529/taxable accounts, I want to invest $200K/year for the next 7 years. 

In the mean time, one of the podcast said if you have a little bit of money sitting around, at least open a ROTH IRA, so I did.

If it's a previous employer then, you should roll it over to a Self Directed IRA, and investing in notes that way is a good idea.If current employer, you would need to repay the loan in full if you chose to leave or are terminated.

Early May 2018: Got an AC call on a house owned under an IRA. 

So we may have a little debt and low cash reserves, but we have over $6k in retirement accounts already,have a Roth IRA, and strong job security.
