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.)

Step 1: Notify Your Clients & Prospects

We provide a sample customer letter, plus several text and tile ads for use on your website and marketing materials. Mail the letter to past clients, put the text or tile ads on your website and marketing materials, and/or call your clients and prospects about this hot new idea - and you'll have a steady stream on new business!

Step 2: Have Your Clients & Prospects Set Up Their Accounts

Clients and prospects seeing your text or tile ads on your site will click through to a customer-facing page showing the benefits of purchasing real estate in an IRA. This page also includes a listing of some of the companies offering the required account set up and documentation. They can do the account set up and funding while you start looking for properties!
