Real Estate IRA Rules
How would you like to use your retirement account to invest in real estate? Although traditional IRA companies do not permit this type of investing, self-directed IRA companies, like American IRA, enable you to make your own investment decisions.
With housing prices and interest rates at an all time low, it is a real estate buyers market out there. Investing in real estate for retirement does involve following a few real estate IRA rules, but just take a look at what you can do with a real estate IRA!
With a real estate IRA, you can:
- Use your retirement account to purchase an investment property
- Utilize a property manager to collect rent checks and take care of any repairs and expenses
- Collect tax-free or tax-deferred income right in your retirement account
- Sell your real estate whenever you want right inside of your real estate IRA
Buying real estate as an investment does come with certain real estate IRA rules and guidelines. For example, you are not permitted to live in your own investment property, or sell the property to yourself. You will not be allowed to provide any services to the property, such as maintenance, repairs, managing any duties that should be carried out by a property manager, etc. However, when you correctly follow the real estate IRA rules, you can enjoy investing in real estate.
Opening a self-directed IRA will give you the flexibility you are looking for if you want to invest in real estate. Speak with an expert at American IRA today. Click here for more information about real estate IRA services, or talk to an American IRA representative by calling 1-866-7500-IRA(472).
