It used to be that the IRS said NO REAL ESTATE and then about 10+ years ago we received a prospectus from a company that said they had figured out a way to invest in real estate. As I understood it, you had to invest in a trust (something like that) where pools of individuals were collected together and invested in the partnership on a limited liability issue. There are multiple problems with real estate (several mentioned) plus the fact that if you own the property in an IRA and you need to make renovations, how do you do it if all the money is invested? Need to rehab the kitchen, how ya going to pay for it? If you work on the property and build sweat equity, the IRS is going to have a problem with it because you've added value beyond your contribution limit.
Even with all the problems, people still advertise you can do it but it's a nightmare from what I've heard.
