Looking to leverage my IRA, suggestions

[Tyrone Alcorn]

I have around 20 grand in my IRA and it just hit me the other day that I could leverage this money to expedite growth while getting into real estate.

Looking for thoughts, suggestions, and/or mentorship with this as this is my first time dealing with real estate.

Should I partner with someone to get a multifamily home?

Or

Use my 20k to be a hard money lender?

I'm all ears.

Thanks!
