The property was bought in full through a self-directed IRA.

I bought my first seller finance house last year w/ cash in my Roth IRA, and it was the best transaction I did last year.  

I don't remember, but I may have been slightly negative for a while on a couple of the properties I listed above, and am very happy with the ones I kept, and regret the ones I didn't.It's similar to putting a monthly deposit into an IRA or other retirement vehicle, with better potential and inflation hedge IMO.

I am getting pre-approved so I can write an offer.I am also going to set up an IRA LLC (Roth) soon to purchase properties as well (I've been a good boy an put money aside for years and done pretty well in stocks)... more on this later as well.Observations...This stuff is fun.

With a Traditional IRA you will pay more in taxes. 

The lender I have worked with will accept 50% of the amount in a retirement plan as a reserve (401K or IRA etc).

I started out by lending money from my self-directed IRA, which was less work than wholesaling.

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.Discounts on some products and services are offered to BP members: https://www.biggerpockets.com/perks/proIf you haven’t been to it already, you might want to check out the BP blog: https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/The site has quite a few tools that can be helpful for new members.

But I don't know the first thing about putting a business together, now I was told that funneling my cash flow into a Roth IRA had limitations to the tune of $6,000 per year.
