Private Lender are typically just that...some guy with an IRA.

Is there any reason I shouldn't use cozy to receive note payments from borrowers with a checkbook IRA?

@Chris Clothier  you have PRE GFC turn key and you have post  form my perspective and having started lending in 01 ish to 02 in turn key space.. those that were able to ride through the 08 to 2011 became stronger.. many showed their colors when things got tough and they bailed.. some reinvented themselves IE only selling for cash to IRA investors and or really going strong with the foreign buyers.. although we know a lot of them also abused terribly the foreign buyers as they simply did not understand the socio demographics of our markets. those that made it through and are still operating have taken the fix and flip for rental program to a new level..  

I invested $50K of self directed Roth IRA funds with them about 18 months ago after being referred to them and listening to a webinar.

Several years ago I set-up a Self-Directed Checkbook LLC IRA.

I have been reading through the forums about self directed IRAs (SD IRAs) and SDIRA LLCs.

Chris, I think (based on your description above) that your issue is deeper than just finding SD IRA custodian who can help you get that investment in your IRA.

The IRA is the investor.  

A lot of forum members are very knowledgeable in their respective fields related to real estate investing, whether that is real estate sales, wholesaling, flipping, rentals, lending, self-directed IRA and Solo 401k investing, or tax and legal guidance.
