Most people are Sitting on an un-tapped golden goose … their IRA or 401(k)

With today’s market conditions, and given the functions of IRAs… that is long-term investments… Real Estate and IRAs are a match made in heaven. They belong together.

Only problem is that 97% of people have their IRA/401(k) tied up with conventional IRA custodians (banks, brokerage houses, or insurance companies) who restrict the owner from certain investments such as Real Estate. However this need not be. The IRS allows for these kinds of investments. But in order to do this, the owner must set up a Self-Directed IRA.

What is a self-directed IRA?

A self-directed IRA is no different from any other IRA except that the self-directed IRA allows you to direct the investments of the IRA, in certain instances, without restrictions.

The following investments are allowed in your IRA:
1. Residential Real Estate
2. Commercial Real Estate
3. Raw Land
4. Trust Deeds/Mortgage Pools
5. Private Notes and Loans
6. Stock Offerings
7. Limited Liability Corporations and Partnerships
8. Tax Certificates
9. Stocks, bonds, Annuities Options, Futures, Currency

Note: You can move traditional IRAs, Sep IRAs, Roth IRAs, 401(k), 403(b), qualified annuities, Profit-Sharing Plans, Money Purchase Plans, Keoghs and any qualified plans into a Self-Directed IRA.
