@Jacqueline Pelzerwithout digging into details of your transaction further I can't tell you for sure if what you are describing is prohibited or not, but you are in the grey area for sure.Under certain circumstances your IRA could partner up with a 'disqualified person', but such transaction could easily become prohibited down the road.

At that point you will need to dig a bit to find lenders that will go up to 10 each...

Someone that will do a lot more digging prior to saying "no." 

You need to dig in on other deferred maintenance issues.Market Method to valuation:Here, you need to take each property one by one and do either an appraisal by recent sale prices and other comps and liabilities.

Until you dig properly. 

@Trevor Wolf, in Oklahoma City you can dig into the county records on line.

John Hepner is part of DIG.

When I really dig in I am coming up with COC returns 6-8% and this is with modest maintenance reserves.

I use the standard technique of looking at the solds finding the cash buyers and dig for their contact info.  

@Glenn TracyI think you may need to dig deeper into the possibilities of what you can do with your Self Directed IRA.
