Can you wholesale property that you don't own using your self-directed IRA?

In the end the amount of money you make will be directly related to how many clients you have, or how much real estate you own.

It’s also in a city I know very little about (Norfolk, VA) here are the numbers- I welcome your thoughts/ insights:$259k - sales Price (4- unit building fully occupied)$1460- total mortgage payment (after 25%) down $305- Property Management Feee (10%)$105- trash (total water is $315 p/m but seller bills water to tenants and has it written in the lease)$60 - lawn careTotal rents are $3050Owner says monthly expenses are low.The best case scenario is net income of $737 assuming $400 extra monthly expenses (for worse case scenario unexpected expenses which always come up) and assuming all the tenants pay their rent.Positives- - Seems to be a good cash flow if expenses are kept low and everybody pays- 4-plex is located in an 85% residential area- building is ok condition (built in late 70’s) except roof is 18 yrs old- all tenants are gainfully employedConcerns- while the neighborhood visually looked fine, according to crimemapping.com its a moderately high crime area.

I heard that you can use a self-directed IRA to purchase real estate.

Knowing all four of these would really help myself, and others here on BP guide you in the right direction.

I am skeptical in regards to direct deposit.

Can anyone direct me where I would need to look in order to find information regarding what the landlord MUST provide the tenet?

I actually came across this yesterday trying to register a new property per the old requirement and the site for registrations now directs you through a part that asks for inspection info and an upload of an inspection document. 

We're on the top floor with direct roof access.
