Quote from @Basit Siddiqi: I personally would not buy real estate with a retirement account.There are just too many headaches that are not worth the potential increased return.Some headaches when it comes to investing in real estate with a retirement account1) LTV values are less and harder to find lenders.2) Potential to sell or partially distibute the property if you have to do a RMD(Required Minimum Distribution)3) If you run out of cash and have to make a major repair, you may be out of luck and have to sell.4) Having to potentially worry about UBTI(Unrelated Business Taxable Income)I would personally invest in stocks/bonds/notes with a retirement account.I buy deals with cash and use a ROTH SDIRA so there are no RMD's.I buy at huge discounts to retail.

I like how Nathan mentioned that most social media stuff is inflated.

It is easiest to see this principle in bonds.The 10 year bond has a higher yield than the 3 year, which has a higher yield than the 1 year, which has a higher yield than the 3 month.

Additional Info —Key Details:Location: Outside Santa Fe, NMProperty Size: 20 acres (valued at $80,000)Project: Two new STR unitsExisting Experience: Family has two fully-occupied LTRs nearby, generating $2,000/monthConstruction Approach: Self-contracted with licensed trades for electrical/plumbingCost Assumption: $80,000 per unit, plus ~20% for inflation (based on 5–8-year-old build costs)Financing: Using land equity as down payment on construction loan (expecting closing costs to be major expense)Request: Looking for feedback, potential pitfalls, and general guidance

Again you can buy more properties in lower asset class area, but it's less efficient.There are many threads about appreciation, so i won't repeat it here, but my guidance to you is to think through the difference between appreciation and inflation. 

Does Trump's election yesterday, with presumed higher GDP growth and higher inflation (Tariffs/Deficits), which means higher 10 yr and Cap Rates, change timing of CRE acquisitions?

For the 10 year period spanning December 2014-2024, single-family prices in Austin nearly doubled, yielding an annualized appreciation rate of ~9.4% in that period.With inflation close to its 2% target and an uptick in the labor market, The Federal Reserve may be taking a break from rate cuts.

Remind them , how they felt back in July and how your deal edges against the amount of cash pumped into the economy (inflation).
