Unless you have a Roth SDIRA, there are significant downsides to investing in real estate with an IRA.  

Quote from @Jerome Brown: Hey BP, My name is Jerome Brown and i have some real estate experience.

I'm on the hunt for real estate meetups to expand my experience and network, but I must not be looking in the right places.

Hello everyone,My name is Shawn Questa, and I am an Architectural Designer and Real Estate Investor.

After seeing the power of financing and understanding how loans can help make real estate deals like this happen, I knew I wanted to be a part of it professionally.

I'm a real estate investor in other parts of the country but not NY due to the extremely high buy in price.

I do a good bit of long distance real estate investing and I am considering going into as new area.

I never knew I would love real estate investing so much before joining REI Nation.

The general idea is that you must acquire an interest in real property you do not already own, and since you already own the subject real property you want to build on, the transaction must be structured so that you are creating an interest in real property you do not already own (in fact, it does not yet exist).
