IRA Investments

[John Hixon]

For along time now I have been putting money into my Roth IRA every year. I was wondering if it would be better to take what money I would put into an IRA and just add that to the money I invest in real estate. The returns are a lot better in real estate but that is taxable as opposed to an IRA.

What are your thoughts?

Thanks,

the contributions that you made to your Roth IRA can come out tax free at any time. However, if you pull out earning you will be taxed and penalized if you do this now (I don't know how old are you but looking at your picture you look much younger than 59.5 y.old :-)

You should explore the idea of moving your IRA into self-directed Roth IRA, then you can invest in real estate tax-free.
