Any insight on using an IRA or a 401k to invest in real estate?
15 March 2017 | 10 replies
You'll want to consult your current administrator to maximize the amount you roll over as well as mitigate any tax obligation.You'll then be limited to $53,000 in contributions per year or $59,000 if you're over 50 years of age.But that is outside contributions...As a Solo 401k/IRA you'll be able to invest the entirety of the account into anything you choose (with limitations depending on who manages your account).
