Private IRA Lending

Traditional lenders – banks, S&Ls, credit unions and established finance companies – have tightened their lending standards significantly. This has left a huge opportunity for smaller lenders to service the needs of perfectly solid entrepreneurs and other quality borrowers who need financing. Many times they have established track records and solid assets backing the loan application, but are still unable to obtain bank financing.

Private IRA lenders can frequently compete by streamlining underwriting procedures and providing quick funding. In exchange, borrowers are frequently willing to pay interest rates well above the market rate for bank loans.

Quality Borrowers

If you have access to quality borrowers, the law allows you to engage in private IRA lending, using your IRA. In fact, in some ways, private IRA lending can be an excellent IRA investment, because of the tax deferral of interest payments. In the case of a Roth IRA, your IRA can even receive interest payments tax free – provided the account has been open at least five years and you are older than age 59½.
