This is something I never knew existed. I have a couple of losing stocks in my traditional IRA and am considering this option. I'd like to be able use the money to buy another rental property, but am a little confused about how that would work. From what I've read, all money pertaining to the property would have to be run thru this account? Money for repairs, taxes, insurance, etc. would need to be kept in the fund. Would I have to deposit monthly rent in there? Seems like a hassle. Also, there seem to be lots of fees: opening, per transaction, etc.
