Invest Your IRA Into Real Estate
A self directed IRA with SDIRA Services enables you to purchase real estate investments and much more on a tax-deferred or tax-free basis.
The ability to invest in real estate using retirement funds has been around for more than 30 years. The advantages of a real estate IRA have become more popular in recent years because of the stock market volatility, increased media attention and more IRA custodians, like SDIRA Services, which specialize in offering a large selection of self directed IRA options that allow for real estate and other alternative investments.
Self directed IRAs offer today’s investor numerous investment options for their retirement funds. How does a real estate IRA work? Well, while typical IRAs only allow publicly-traded stocks, bonds, mutual funds and CDs, a self directed IRA affords individuals the opportunity to own alternative and non-traded investments such as real estate, precious metals, private equity, and much more. Through a self directed IRA, account holders are able to use their personal knowledge and experience with specific investments, such as real estate, to help their retirement savings grow in a tax-deferred or tax-free environment.
About a Self Directed IRA Real Estate Investment
Owning real estate in IRA is an exciting prospect for many savers. Through a self directed IRA, an investor can own physical property in the form of raw land, single family homes, multi-family structures or even commercial property. An account holder must remember that while the real estate is owned inside of an IRA, the property must be an investment only and cannot be used personally by the account holder or any other disqualified parties. Also, any profits generated by the property such as rental income or proceeds of sale, must be returned to the IRA. Likewise, any expenses incurred by the property such as taxes or improvements, must be paid for by IRA funds.
