Your IRA can be invested in a real asset to protect the principal and generate consistently solid returns.Investing in real estate with a self-directed IRA allows you to use leverage in the form of a non-recourse mortgage, which can increase the cash-on-cash return you will receive from your IRA dollars if uses wisely.The use of a non-recourse mortgage in an IRA does create exposure to UDFI taxation.  

Seems excessive to me.

The bank is doing you a favor and limiting your personal liability exposure somewhat.  

Therefore many houses in the neighborhood now have asking prices in excess of $100k, but successful sales are still only in the $45k to 75k price range.The house is a small two bedroom, one bath approx 750 sq ft house with detached garage and two adjoining house lots behind it are included.

, with ARV's in excess of $250k, you can generally push the percent a bit.

It will get you more exposure and better chances at getting better rates.

I'm all about getting things right and paying for advice when necessary, but this seems a bit excessive IMO.Anybody gone through this process before and just used standard forms?
