N.A N.A Use 401K/IRA for a real estate purchase?
14 September 2012 | 5 replies
About the biggest downside is the loss of the write-off of passive losses, usually caused by depreciation and one of the main advantages of rentals when not primary job, reduce your taxable income.If a rental has a loss for the year including depreciation, which is very common in rentals, you can write off that loss versus other passive income ( investment gains, interest income) and lower your taxes, up to a limit.This paper loss vs real income will be lost as you don't pay taxes on gains in IRA or 401k and cannot write-off the IRA loss versus non-IRA income.With prices the way they are, low, and expected capital gains due to the unusually low prices of houses at the moment, not a killer point, but one to be aware of.Speak to your tax guy about the rules for a full view of the affects.Cheers.
