I know of at least one structure to do this which passes IRS muster, but it is likely to be prohibitively expensive:Form the LLC Draw up a promissory note from the llc to the IRAStructure the note as a convertible bond with a fixed interest (which can be adjusted by mutual consent)Note converts to equity upon sale (equity kicker)Hurdles: I believe this is bank dependent but common...IRA will have to own less than 20% of the equity so as not to be on the note, so the IRAs interest received should work out to about 50% of the return minus the 20% in an equal partnershipUBIT will need to be paid in the financed portion (not awful)Bank needs to be informed and agree to the bond being in second positionYou will likely need an IRA custodian sign offDon't try this at home!

just make sure the dealer is authorized, NATE certified, and bonded and insured...and don't put down the full purchase price (not fun being robbed) Good luck!

If the terms are acceptable just bond around it and close.

It will most always strengthen your offer.Good luck,

My day job involves stocks and bonds but I'm interested in buy and hold real estate for cash flow and long term appreciation.

I have gotten some quotes from plumbers around my area and actually found a licenses/bonded/insured plumber that is willing to teach me the process of installing the boiler while giving him a hand.
