He would like to see a 7% return on his investment, interest paid monthly, and his money back when we eventually sell or cash out refi (~10 years out).Our current intentions are to live in the new building, rent out our primary, and short term rent the 3 units adjacent to our unit in the new building.

To do that, you would transfer all or part of your current IRA account to a new custodian that allows you to self-direct investments.
