@Ronald Stanley,

IRA is tax-deferred vehicle and there would be no capital gain tax on a sale of an investment property. If the property is financed in a self-directed IRA - there would be Unrelated Business Income Tax on the profit from leveraged portion of the property (truly self-directed Solo 401k plan would be exempt from taxes on leveraged real estate).

There is no possible way for you to transfer existing property you own personally into your IRA! Also you can't combine your IRA with your wife's - each of you will need a separate IRA.

Thanks Dmitriy. Lets say that I convert my wife's old 401k into a SDIRA and I use it to purchase a property in the future. When I sell the property and make a profit I understand I wont have to pay a capital gains tax but I may have to pay an unrelated business income tax. The rest of the profit would be distributed to me correct? Or does all of the profit have to go back into the Self Directed IRA. In other words I want to be able to use the profits now.

Hello Ronald,

Unfortunately, for a property you own personally, you would not be able to put this into a self-directed IRA account to get the benefits. If you set up an SDIRA for your wife, you can use it to purchase a new investment property. Then you would be able to defer taxes on sales.

Separately, a 1031 exchange could be an option for you to defer the capital gains tax, by exchanging this property for another investment property. This wouldn't help much in paying off your primary home but would save you from paying the taxes now.

Thanks Matt. We will probably convert my wife's 401k into a SDIRA so we can invest in the future. A 1031 exchange would be a good idea for deferring taxes. I am ready to pay of this mortgage. It has been a dream thus far and to now we have the opportunity  to do it so I'm going for it. Thanks again

Thanks Mike. You made me a think about an online calculator that I used in the past that helped me to get pretty close.  I was able to add GA State Tax along with some of the items you mentioned before. Thanks for replying

Hey family,

I purchased a rental property in 2016 under my own name for $135,000. The home is now worth $225,000 and I plan to sell it in the next six months.

My plan is to use the profit to pay off the mortgage on my primary residence. I was advised that there are tax savings when selling a home that's owned by a self-directed IRA. Is it true that I can avoid or limit capital gains taxes? If so, how is this done? I have some money in a traditional 401(k) and My wife has a little bit of money in an old 401(k) from a company she no longer works for. We are thinking about rolling her funds into a self-directed IRA.  Is it too late to incur the tax savings since I bought the home in my name or is there a way that I can put the rental home into a self-directed IRA before I sell it? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. The rental home has a mortgage balance of $111,000 if that plays a role in your answer. I expect my capital gains taxes to be north of $30,000 from the sale but I'm not really sure how to calculate what it will end up being.

@Ned Carey

Thanks Ned. I agree when I heard the cost it sounded ridiculous. I am getting a lot more responses than I thought to this post. It’s encouraging that so many people are eager to help. Do you mind if I reach out from time to time to pick your brain?

@John Sparagna Thanks John. I live in Acworth which is just north of Kennesaw. Would you be open to a call later this week to share your experience? If so, what’s the best way to contact you.

@Denise Evans Hey Denise, I checked out your website and it is very impressive. I live in Georgia. Do you offer consulting or coaching in Georgia? If not, can you recommend anyone in Georgia that offer similar services to you? I am a beginner in tax deed investing and I want somebody to show me the ropes.

@Ned Carey Thanks Ned. Do you recommend any tax deed investing courses or books that were particularly helpful? I have been offered coaching in the past. The cost ranged from 25k to 50k. Does that seem reasonable? Do you coach any students?
