Long story short(ish), I would caution anyone who is going to make any large non-permitted, structural improvements to a house they plan to sell.

You must use non recourse loan meaning no personal guarantee.

Keep in mind that the money that you contribute to your Roth IRA does not have to be invested in publicly traded securities;  it can buy real estate and still keep it's tax benefits.
