Real Estate investing and IRAs

Tapping the best kept secret in Real Estate Investing

You thought that your IRA investment options are limited to bank CDs, the stock market, and mutual funds? Think again!!

Real estate has provided a path to wealth building for many Americans. Real estate is generally a stable investment vehicle providing income and appreciation. Now you may be thinking that you do not have enough money to get into real estate investing; however powerful investment vehicles such as IRAs and 401(k)s are your way into building wealth through real estate.

Not the traditional IRA offered by many of the big investment firms. I am referring to the self directed type. Many investors do not realize that you have the option of self-directing your IRA and other retirement plans into real estate—and you can benefit from the tax advantages these plans provide! IRA investments earn tax-deferred/tax-free profits.

Imagine not having to pay taxes right away—or ever—on your real estate deals. Instead of the government taxing your profits, you keep it.

Additional advantages of the real estate in your IRAs include:

  • The power of compound interest
  • A reduction of taxable income
  • Asset protection
  • Estate planning

If you're a new investor, an already successful real estate investor, or if you're just looking to diversify your retirement portfolio. The combination of real estate and your IRA can be very powerful.
