If you purchase real estate and place the property inside your IRA, you do not own it; your IRA owns the property. Since qualified plan law governs your IRA, the owner must adhere to Internal Revenue Service guidelines. Investment restrictions, custodial fees, distribution rules and, ultimately, income taxes must be paid. All proceeds must go back into the IRA and occupancy is not an option. In addition, if the real estate is a rental property, for compliance purposes, your custodian will appoint a property manager. If loans are used, the loan must be a nonrecourse loan (secured by the property but no recourse on any other assets). Commercial lenders usually do not engage in these types of loans, so the private sector (private investors, owner/seller financing, etc.) is your best option...
