Borrowing Against Self Directed IRA

Justin Reed

Posted

Hey everyone, I have a 401k from a previous employer that I was planning on moving into a self directed IRA. I just was wondering if you are allowed to borrow on margin with it? I'm sure every place is different but I wasn't able to locate concrete rules from the companies I looked up. My goal would be to use that to invest into real estate. Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks!

@Justin Reed

you can not borrow against IRA, IRS rules do not allow using IRA as a collateral.
