This way my partner and I would be able to combine our funds and buy a property without a need for a non-recourse loan also allowing us to avoid paying Unrelated Business Income Tax (UBIT).Here are some of the questions I have: Suggestions for a reliable custodian to insure I don’t violate any of the IRS transaction rules and also charges low fees.Does the custodian setup a SDIRA LLC or will I need to have a lawyer set this up?

@Tim JonesThe trustee is supposed to remain neutral, which means you can't act as the lender and the trustee at the same time.Trustees are usually a title company, lawyer, or a loan servicing company...

Lawyers and courts are involved.  

It can deter vandals and make any conversation recorded on that property admissable in court.I am not a lawyer.  

I currently have my team realtor, lawyer, contractor, & Im still looking for accountant if someone could recommend one that would be great.

Anyways, I know that lawyers charge $250/hr, but I didn't just want to just let go.

Again my real estate agent, my lawyer, and the representative for the bank are responsible for the closing, all very professional and very patient. 

For you to do the same on your own you need a good securities lawyer to draft the appliciable paperwork and then you need to reach the investors and make sure you are complying with the regulations.

Seller's lawyers are wary of letting anyone in the property earlier because of liability and other concerns.

Hello @Jeremy ClarkeI would first go talk with your lawyer (or a lawyer that can answers these questions more depth).
