it is also difficult to engage in wholesaling with your IRA without providing services to the IRA, which may be why your current custodian is not willing to process such deals.Short term gap funding to an unrelated wholesaler or other such strategies may better fit within an IRA, where everything needs to be very much at arm's length, and where passive income is tax favored (as opposed to trade or business income such as this).

@George Evans They are not in cincy, but they I have heard good things of Amanda Holbrook's company, specialized IRA services.
