I don't believe you can use a self-directed IRA in this
manner. You might check with the retirement departments of
Fidelity or Edward Jones.

I'm 55. I'd like to use assets from a self-directed IRA
(post-tax money) as a 30% down-payment on a residential
property (condo) that I'd rent for a few years before moving
in after I retire. I'd like to finance the remainder of the
property with a traditional mortgage outside of my IRA.
I've received conflicting answers from two Self-directed IRA
custodian companies that I've talked with - one says I can
mix IRA money with non-IRA money on the same property - the
other says that it's gotta all be inside the IRA or all be
outside of the IRA - can I mix it up under IRS regs? If
not, any suggestions? Thanks!
