Transition Roth IRA into apartments and syndications

[Brad Hales]

Hello Bigger Pockets. I am new to real estate investing and am consideration transitioning my Roth IRA into apartment syndications as a passive investor or possibly partnering with other and becoming more active. What advice would you have with regard to tax liabilities and using Roth IRA assets in syndications? Thank you.

Verify the type of entity the syndication is employing-is it a debt or equity position? What reporting will your Roth receive K1, 1099, etc. Is there debt involved and will UBIT apply? Is it for accredited investors only? 
It is done all the time but understand the requirements before committing. Do your due diligence and above all make sure it will be profitable and low risk if your Roth is involved.
