Have you looked into a Self-Directed IRA?

@Stephen Grindle if you invest inside a IRA you can't touch the cash flow without dealing with the IRA restrictions. 

Convert your Roth IRA to a Self-Directed Roth IRA and start Investing, while growing your retirement mostly "tax free". 

Friends with IRAs are the best to borrown from.

But hundreds of millions of Americans invest in IRAs and 401Ks every year because their contributions are tax deferred.  

In my experience, he knows every aspect of real estate investing, from IRA investing to company/deal structuring for best tax advantages and has helped me to structure my deals and my business in the most beneficial way. 

Because payroll taxes are murder...But I do get to claim SEP-IRA contributions as an expense...My personal assets are protected to an extent...

As a passive investor, my favorite time of the month is when the distributions start flowing into your bank account or your self-directed IRA (SDIRA) custodian account.

Presume standard annual 401k/IRA are maxed.

Cornelius,The answer will depend on the state of your IRA, but the bottom line is that the IRA is the purchaser on the transaction.If you already have a self directed IRA held by a trust company, they can help you with the paperwork they need.
