Yes! Using a self-directed IRA loan to invest in property can be a powerful way to build wealth. However, it must be a non-recourse loan, which can be difficult to obtain from traditional banks. This is where IRA Power Loans can help.
An IRA Power Loan is a non-recourse loan to your IRA. Non-recourse loan financing does not bear the same conventional liability of a traditional loan; in the event of default, the lender can only seize the property securing the loan. The IRA owner cannot personally guarantee the loan or use other IRA assets as collateral. (Ref IRS Pub. 590)

There are two reasons why you typically will not be able to obtain a non-recourse IRA loan from your local community bank, national bank, or national mortgage provider.
The first reason has to do with revenue. These institutions typically package all of their home mortgages into large pools and sell them to Wall Street. In order for a loan to be qualified to be sold, it must be in a specific format with specific terms. Non-recourse loans do not fit this format, so there is not much incentive for these institutions to offer these loans to investors.
Second, banks are known for being slow to adapt, stodgy, and built on a culture of “no”. IRA Power Loans is an innovative and tech-forward approach to a powerful tool that is rarely offered in the marketplace. With IRA Power Loans’ proprietary process and easy to use tools, investors have the flexibility and power to truly harness the power of leverage, compounding interest, and tax advantaged growth.
No. IRS Publication 590 prohibits this.
When an IRA (or other tax-exempt entity) utilizes debt financing to acquire property, a trust tax (UBIT) can occur on income generated from the property; also referred to as Unrelated Debt Financed Income (UDFI) (Ref. IRC 514)
The percentage of the profits subject to taxation is determined by the percentage of the property that is debt financed. You may write off depreciation and other operating expenses on a percentage basis, which can significantly reduce the income subject to taxation. In most cases, the financial impact of the tax is minimal especially when compared to potential investment gains.
All expenses associated with an IRA owned property must be paid from the IRA. Your custodian (ex.,Equity Trust) will provide you with instructions to request a payment on behalf of the IRA.
