Anyone ever bought an investment property through SDIRA Wealth?
27 January 2025 | 35 replies
As a side note typically I do not use my deferred tax dollars to invest in traditional real estate as the benefits (depreciation etc) are all lost when using a self directed IRA - My guess is build to rent will provide little to no cash flow to build the account - it will all be locked in the property.
