To stay compliant with a real estate IRA...

The IRS and the SEC both have guidelines and rules that govern the use of IRA accounts. With a little advanced planning you'll stay within the boundaries and you won't worry about penalties or income taxes.

One of the IRS rules is about disqualified parties and self dealing. Which basically translates to You are not permitted to buy a home, vacation property, or office space with IRA funds that you plan to live in or rent to direct family members.   Also buying and selling properties from yourself is not allowed.

If the funds are used to buy rental properties. 
A big no no is paying yourself a management, repair, or service fee. However, you can pay a fee to a management company that manages the property for you and all other service providers.  And that's exactly the point we try to make, put systems and people in place that do the work for you.

Always pay expenses like, property taxes, association fees, general bills, repairs and improvements from the IRA account.

Always deposit income and profit for the property into the IRA account.

Always, take title to the investment property in the name of the IRA account.

If you want to use other peoples IRA accounts. The SEC is particular about the wording used for advertisements. It's important to never advertise for lending or loans but it's ok to advertise for buyers who want to use or are already using their IRA account for funding real estate.

With your IRA custodian in place, you'll be able to turn your business into a wealth-building machine that secures your future and maximizes your retirement account.
