How To Buy Real Estate In An IRA

• The stock market has tanked, and investors have lost confidence! Almost everyone's stock market portfolio is down 30% or more. Buying real estate just makes sense.
  
  
• Real estate prices are dramatically lower than just two years ago, creating tremendous upside through both a higher future resale value (plus any rent you collect in the interim)!
  
  
• There is a tremendous amount of foreclosures and auctions where you can pick up beautiful homes for 20% or less of their value!

• Purchasing real estate in an IRA is allowable under the ERISA Act of 1974.
  
  
• Purchasers have to have a separate investment account with the required documentation, plus abide by a few simple rule, namely, that funds in this account cannot be commingled with other funds. In other words, you can't pay for improvements with your personal money, and rent must be deposited into this account. Doing so voids the tax-free benefits of your IRA.
  
  
• Most brokerage houses do not support - and therefore allow - investors to hold real estate in an IRA. Therefore, individuals purchasing real estate in their IRAs must use an approved provider for both their account set-up and documentation. (We have included a list of those vendors below.)
