Please suggest the reading (book or articles) on SD LLC IRA so that I can comprehend the topic completely.

Also, social (in)security, IRAs, 401ks and pensions, etc when you're old have survivor benefits only for the married.  

If you have an entity set up, those same friends and family can lend out of a Self Directed IRA.

Hi Everyone;4 years ago, I created a self directed IRA through NAFEP (National Association of Financial Estate Planners) and AE&T (American Estate and Trust, acting as IRA custodian).

Once this equity is rolled to IRA they can be self-directed to invest in much better product than anything in the life insurance spectrum IMO.

I have about $40K in an IRA from a previous employer. 

My question is regarding Roth IRA contribution limits.

The earnest money comes from the IRA.

Hence it is hard to say if the long term performance would produce the returns you need for a pension.Consider other forms of RE if you want a clear track record.As you are doing this for retirement, do you know that you can use your IRA to fund deals?
