They gave me 20 yr 7yr fix ARM 5.8% with less than $2k in closing cost.  75% LTV.

@Monte YoungAccording to the IRS rules all transaction involving qualified retirement plan must be "arms length", meaning that no "disqualified person" is involved in such transaction directly or indirectly.

This is special tax-sheltered savings for your future self.Thinking "I would like to invest in real estate" and looking to your IRA for funding is a disaster in waiting.Thinking "I understand real estate and can produce better returns for my IRA investing in real estate at arms' length" is the way to approach these plans.

I just found a place recently in Salmon Arm for 220,000 with an ARV of 410,000.I believe it’s possible but takes a lot of time.

You may need a locksmith and if there's any concern about safety, have a deputy present.
