Keep Maxing My Roth IRA or Have More CASH to Invest???

[Jonathan Jaime Velarde]

Greetings!

I am currently maxing out my Roth IRA, which is phenomenal and gives me a great sense of security, but now that I am very intrigued in the RE investing community should I cut back on doing $458 a month towards the IRA or no?

Between my USAA Roth IRA, TSP Roth (which I will rollover once out of military), and everyday investing/saving I am putting roughly $1,039/month.

Which would you cut back/add to, if any, in order to build a bank roll for RE investing. My first investment property I am hoping to get a 2-4plex with FHA/VA loan, live in one unit, and rent the others out. Not exactly sure where at the moment because the Ventura County market is expensive and that is where I am going to live once I'm out of the military for at least a few years.

Very Respectfully,

You could transfer the Roth IRA to a self-directed Roth IRA and then invest the Roth IRA in real estate. All the gains would flow back to the ROTH IRA and grow tax free.
