Loophole

Self-Directed IRA + Non-Recourse Loan

Buy leveraged real estate inside your IRA — tax-deferred or tax-free.

Overview

SDIRA borrows non-recourse (secured only by the property) to buy income real estate. Rent + appreciation grow inside Traditional (deferred) or Roth (tax-free) IRA. UBIT applies only to the leveraged portion — often still net-positive vs holding personally.
