(Partner is licensed & qualified to do so) I know it is considered a prohibited transaction for someone using their Self Directed IRA to manage, but unclear whether this rule applies to a partner that used their own Non Self Directed IRA funds.

Its a little more advanced but they are perfect for a self-directed IRA. 

However, this fund is pretty small - big enough for a downpayment (maybe 20% for a small purchase)2) The other spouse, currently full-time employed, sets up a Self Directed IRA - pulling funds from former employers' 403b accounts, as well.

Also remember that reserves can be 401K, IRA's and of course your bank statements  Etc.You can refinance your primary even if you had 100 homes since it's your O/O home.I hope that this help and PM me or post if you need anything else.Have a great day.

In my city we have a big self directed IRA company that does meet ups to bring the action and money guys together.

For example you can contribute more money tax free to an IRA or a life insurance policy in an LLC than as an individual or sole proprietor.

I have self directed IRA with 2 properties. 

I currently have an IRA I converted from a 401k I would like to use for investing.  

You could possibly loan that money in short term financing to another investor or now is a great time to contribute it to a self directed IRA then use it lots of ways.Finally you could get in touch with me and we can talk live so I quit burning up my computer because there isn't enough space on this blog to discuss everything lol.I'm not by any means a guru or an expert but I like you started with just a little money (or actually less than a little money) and am slowly but surely building something great. 

I understand that there is a way to roll over funds from a 401K into a IRA; self directed I think.Has anyone done that?
