I know I'm coming to this thread a bit late but as you probably know by now, foreigners (you don't look Thai) are prohibited from buying land in Thailand.  

Alex,You will find answer to your question here:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/527...I would advise against it as it might be considered a "prohibited transaction" under IRS scrutiny.

If either party would really not be able to complete the transaction on its own, there is risk this could be viewed as a benefit conferred by the other party and therefore a prohibited transaction.Benefit would also include one party having access to the other parties funds for their own benefit.

We want the same thing.I also hadn't thought about the brokerage prohibiting the agent from dual-agency.  

They say no course ever mentioned self-directed retirement accounts, what a prohibited transaction is or how to gain checkbook access to a self-directed Roth IRA.The knowledge and experience they gained in school was helpful, but not pivotal in their success.Business degrees?

It seems according to the RESPA rules we should be able to choose our own title company: "Section 9 of RESPA prohibits a seller from requiring the home buyer to use a particular title insurance company, either directly or indirectly, as a condition of sale."

I considered the reverse 1031, but the cost is prohibitive for the deal I'm looking at.  

The Hud requirement to occupy for 1 year is not a deed restriction so you are not prohibited in any way from selling the property. 

The tax code very clearly prohibits that.But, the lenders that offer non-recourse loans have more conservative underwriting criteria, as I noted above.It absolutely is possible to leverage an IRA using debt-financing such as a mortgage and this can be a very powerful strategy.  

Any transaction your IRA performs with you is a prohibited transaction.
