As a real estate investor with a self-directed IRA, understanding the pros and cons of non-recourse loans is advantageous for leveraging your retirement funds to purchase real estate while both mitigating risks and maximizing returns.
Non-recourse loans are a specialized type of loan secured by collateral, commonly property. What makes this loan unique is in the case of a default, the lender’s recourse is limited to the agreed collateral. Whereas with a recourse loan, if the borrower fails to repay the loan, according to the loan agreement, the lender can take legal action to fully collect what is owed, including wage garnishment, bank account levy or seizing other collateral.
With a non-recourse mortgage loan, you have flexibility to purchase several types of real estate including single-family homes, condominium complexes, and multi-unit properties. Additionally, you can borrow funds to improve an existing property already part of your IRA.

As a real estate property investor, a non-recourse IRA loan can be a valuable tool for limiting personal liability, managing risk, and effectively leveraging your capital.
Non-resource loans create leverage, allowing investors to expand and diversify their self-directed IRA real estate investment portfolio. Benefits include:
Despite the many benefits, there are some disadvantages to financing your investment with a non-resource loan, including the loan terms, qualification requirements and limited lender options.
Since non-resource loans are riskier for the lender, interest rates are typically higher than a traditional mortgage to compensate for the limited recourse the lender has in the case of default. Non-recourse loan lenders may also have more stringent qualification requirements and lower loan-to-value ratios (LTV), requiring borrowers to provide a larger minimum down payment or have more equity in the property.
Finding IRA non-recourse lenders can be more complex compared to traditional mortgage lenders since non-resource lending is a specialization within the financial services industry. However, some companies, like IRA Power Loans, specialize in financing self-directed IRAs. A non-recourse lender understands the unique requirements and regulations of financing an investment property within a retirement account.
Unrelated Business Income Tax (UBIT) applies when a taxexempt entity like an IRA uses debt financing to acquire rental property. This results in a trust tax on any income generated, known as Unrelated Debt Financed Income (UDFI), as outlined in IRC 514. The portion of profits subject to tax corresponds to the debt-financed percentage of the property. However, you can offset this by deducting depreciation and other operational costs, which can significantly reduce your taxable income. When viewed in light of the potential gains from your investment, the financial impact of UBIT is typically minimal.
Download GuidePaying UBIT can be a wise strategic decision, allowing you to leverage your IRA for greater wealth accumulation, diversified income opportunities and enhanced financial flexibility. Only a portion of your income is taxable, and you can utilize standard deductions, depreciation and exemptions to further minimize your tax liability. Each investment scenario is unique, so we encourage you to use the calculator to gauge your potential returns.
