Based on those two data points there is no deal.Understandably you are anxious to get in the game, and may have even jumped in without the resources of BP, but you cannot work the property and risk the loss of capital, for the reward of $20/month.

@Bil Casimir you can "help" your Mom's IRA BUT you can not accept a dime for doing so, you can not benefit personally in ANY manner, nor can you manage her IRA or IRA/LLC for the reasons @Dmitriy Fomichenko stated above.In general though, your Mom's SDRA can and may want to setup an IRA/LLC for which she can play with Real Estate and manage her own LLC, on behalf of her SDRA, as needed for asset protection.You mom's SDRA can invest in another LLC so long as there are no disqualified individuals in the same LLC with a controlling interest.With all that said, if YOU want to play in her retirement sandbox...then she may be able to form an S-Corp on her own, do a reverse IRA Rollover to a new 401k sponsored by her S-Corp and then loan another LLC, or fund her an LLC that you and her are part of, or just your LLC, the money for the Real Estate...whichever way you all feel comfortable with.This is very important to get right...so don't hold weight to any forum post or opinion, consult the professionals in your local area for further guidance.
