I have a checkbook IRA in an LLC and ready to purchase a property.

I'm in the process of talking to financial advisor on how to roll over an old 401(k) into a self-directed IRA or solo 401(k), so I can invest in real estate and promissory notes in a retirement account. 

From real estate sales, wholesaling, flipping, rentals, lending, self-directed IRA and Solo 401k investing, or tax and legal guidance, you will find that many members here are very knowledgeable in their respective fields.

Also, if/when you begin to get into purchasing with IRAs or 401Ks, you cannot participate in the sale of the property.

So far my rentals are in my SDIRA, and what I am looking for there is a better return than stocks and more stability over the long run, and also just the diversity of keeping some of my IRA in stocks and some in real estate.I have been talking to a few different people that are somewhat interested in working together in some way.

Also - if anyone use a self directed IRA to buy properties, can you roll an existing IRA or 401k into this new tax shelter shelter?

That is why investing is more tax friendly.But is it possible to do this building/selling activity within a Roth IRA?

Many will have IRA's they can convert to self-directed and lend you funds for investing at 100% LTV.

Check out notesdirect.com, if your're curious it's free to sign up and browse property loans for sale (performing, non-performing, REO).And there're many other platforms for investing in larger RE developments via crowd-sourcing and leveraging your IRA and take advantage of some serious tax benefits.

I've talked to a few folks who would do 35K as a one-off for special situations or for return investors. 100K is not out of the question, but you'd be limiting your field.Many investors will want to know if they can invest there IRA money in your deal.
