Conventional loan on rental property purchased by SDIRA LLC?

Hello,

Since a rental property purchased by the SDIRA LLC cannot be owner occupied, can you still get a conventional or FHA loan on it? Or does it have to be a commercial loan?

It must be a non-recourse loan, made to the IRA with no personal guarantees from you or close family members. That is all the IRS allows an IRA or Solo 401k to use.

    Hey Tina,

    Under FHA rules and guidelines, the property being financed must be occupied by the owner. conventional may work if it's a single-family property. Best of luck!

    Hi Tina,

    The only type of loan you can utilize is a non-recourse loan in a SDIRA.

    A non-recourse loan is a secured loan backed by a pledge of collateral, typically the property that it is being
    used to purchase, where neither the borrower, nor the borrower's self-directed IRA, will be held liable for
    payment in the event of default.
    If a loan does default, the only asset the bank can go a􀁹er is the asset in question. In turn, the lender will
    have "no recourse" against the individual, the IRA funds, or the IRA's other assets. In other words, the lender
    will only be able to recover the property itself.

    I will be sure to look into that!  Thanks, Jack!

    Conventional loans are recourse, so you can never use a conventional loan with an IRA.
