This is a duplex that I'm going to end up renting out to college students.

I currently have about $35k in it, which would be more than enough to purchase a couple town homes by the local college that will produce good returns, and that's my plan for using the money.However, what I don't know is can you obtain a mortgage through a SD IRA?

My wife and I are interested in supplementing our retirement accounts for that time 10-15 years down the road; plus we want to be able to finance our grandchildren's college educations.She is an accountant with a governmental tourism entity; and I am an IT worker for a large private retail company.

@Derek Dame I was roommates in college with Brenyn Hardy.

My name is Darnell Leslie and I’m a recent college graduate from Monmouth U and a current NFL/CFL Free agent.

Hey BP, I am a 23 year-old college graduate that has no student debt.

My son graduated college last year with his MBA and had 20k he wanted to invest.

I own two SFH's that I rent to college kids and the multi would be for the same purpose.

That’s how I got my start too, except it was a SFH I rented a room to a college pal of mine nearly a decade ago.
