We allow single member LLCs and real estate directly deeded to the IRA.I have no vested interest in either strategy our clients choose to use.Even with a single member LLC you need a custodian to hold the LLC as the asset your IRA owns.Just because you choose to use a single member LLC to hold your real estate assets instead of having the IRA hold it directly, it doesn't mean that you don't have to follow all of the IRS regulations as they relate to prohibited transactions and such.You would best be served by speaking with an accountant familiar with SDIRAs about any taxes and returns that might be due.To set up an LLC for this purpose, I have seen that clients typically spend less funds to set it up and are much better prepared and advised by using an attorney familair with ERISA and who has a practice specializing in this.
