Yes, and it also depends on whether a person or business/legal entity owns the property.

Also, some people I know owned a home within their IRA and we're renting it out. According to the IRS, expenses, insurance, and taxes should be paid out of the IRA.

In other words, seek a tax professional for guidance and requirements to avoid surprises.
