@Shawn ChervinskisThere can be no direct or indirect benefit between you and the plan, and the fact that you would occupy a unit of the duplex is a 100% deal-killer for an IRA or 401k.You could use a Solo 401k to purchase a property held entirely by the 401k, and to which all expenses and income are attributed to the plan.A 401k (or IRA) can use non-recourse financing, but typically non-recourse lenders will want to see more like 35-40% down and a minimum of 10% cash in the plan for reserves.
