Many people invest in real estate using an SDIRA or even better a Checkbook IRA.

Has anybody invested in PPR within their Roth IRA? 

A 1031 exchange doesn’t apply, but funding through a self-directed IRA can defer taxes, though profits from debt financing may trigger UBIT.To reduce taxes, consider forming an LLC for better expense deductions, offsetting gains with investment losses, or holding the property for 12+ months to qualify for lower long-term capital gains rates.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

If you’re interested in investing in real estate, you can consider doing so with a Self-Directed IRA to defer taxes on capital gains until you actually withdraw the funds from your IRA.

It will allow you to roll existing retirement funds into the 401k (save Roth IRA) and self direct those funds.  

I would encourage anybody with an SDIRA to consider switching over to a Checkbook IRA for some of the following reasons:1.

You don’t get to just expense the additional real expenses.

Have you considered using a self-directed IRA to invest rather than cashing it out? 

At this time I do not have any money in an IRA its in an account provided by my employer.

I have no investment experience, only stock market and IRA’s, but I hope to learn a lot from professionals on this forum.
