Self directed IRA - real estate options

[depokerstar]

Does anyone have any experience with using a self directed IRA for real estate or other business opportunites?

I know some of the basic pitfalls with "self dealing" - buying a house and living in it or buying a business and taking part in running it. But I'd like to know more.

Any experiences? websites? links here?

Thanks

Go to IRA investing on the left hand column. It's half way down

You can google up a bunch of articles on IRA investing.


I have a bunch of CD's laying around about IRA investing but since I'm from Canada I never bothered to really understand the subject.
