Passive Investing Report

Investing In Real Estate With Your IRA
Perhaps you’ve heard of this concept or perhaps not. But countless publications have written stories about using investment dollars to buy real estate rather than stocks … because they know they can get a better return.
So, why are most Americans still trusting their own retirements… IRAs… 401ks… with the stock market?
Answer is, they don’t know any better.
Before we dive into the good stuff… remember, we are not financial advisors and by no means should this guide be meant to act as financial, tax, or legal advice. It’s for informational purposes only. Consult your own professional advisors before you make any financial choices like this.
The Self-Directed IRA for Real Estate
There’s something called a Self-Directed IRA. They’ve been around for a while… and in the past several years lots of people have realized that their IRAs aren’t earning them a darn thing (sometimes even losing money). So, those people (maybe this is you) have started to look for other ways to earn better returns with that same IRA.
Enter the “self-directed IRA”.
A self-directed IRA is simple. It’s a retirement account that has the same tax benefits as a normal IRA… but, you have more flexibility in deciding what you want your IRA to be invested in.
You can invest in…
- Real estate (commercial, income generating rental property, rehabs, etc.)
- Promissory Notes secured by mortgages (i.e. – private lending)
- Tax lien certificates
- Limited partnerships
- LLC’s
- Sub-C corporations
- Real estate options
- Some types of precious metals
- … and the normal investments like stocks that your normal IRA can invest in
Basically, this opens it up so you can buy investment real estate with your IRA… or be a private lender in real estate.
Are There Restrictions?
Yes, there definitely are. There are restrictions on what you do with the real estate if you buy and hold… what types of precious metals… and often times the “custodian” of the SDIRA has restrictions on what they think you can and should invest in.
A custodian? Whats that?
Great questions.
Self-Directed IRA Custodians
The US Government created the SD-IRA loophole to help investors take more control over their investments while at the same time still getting the tax benefits. But, at the same time… they don’t want people setting up these SD-IRAs and just doing whatever they want.
So there is a barrier that they have to have in place… and thats the custodian.
The custodian is usually the Self-Directed IRA company who you have your IRA with. They act as the “go between” when you’re going to make an investment. Many custodians have guidelines on what you can invest in, how long it will take for you to actually make your money work for you once they approve the investment… etc. Some custodians are more passive… and let you actually have a checkbook where you can write checks from your SD-IRA to make investments.
You should do your homework and find the custodian thats right for you. Here’s a few that we know and respect:
- Guidant Financial (expensive, but gives you true checkbook control, which is huge) – https://www.guidantfinancial.com
- Equity Trust – http://www.trustetc.com/
- Entrust – http://www.theentrustgroup.com/
Do some research to find the right fit for you.
Some have more expensive fees than others… and some give more flexibility than others.
What To Ask A Self-Directed IRA Company Before You Work With Them
Before you sign on with a SD-IRA company… ask them a few key questions.
- What are your fees? – Fees can vary wildly. Some charge an annual fee based on the value of the account, some charge an annual fee, some charge large setup fees, etc. Find out what works for you. But, the idea is that by being able to invest in real estate with your IRA… you’ll more than make up for the fees you’re paying with your higher returns.
- What’s the process for approving an investment? – Some companies can take up to 30 days+ to fund an investment after you send it in for approval. Some SD-IRA’s give you what’s called “true checkbook control”, where you actually get a checkbook where you can write checks from your IRA account… which gives you immediate access to the funds (i.e. – to close a deal quickly). Checkbook control usually is a tad more expensive to set up than an IRA account that requires all investments to go through the sometimes lengthy custodian approval process, but again… find out what’s best for you.
- Are there any restrictions on what I can invest in? I want to invest in real estate and make private loans. – Some SD-IRAs with larger more traditional companies like Schwab and SmithBarney put restrictions on what your account can invest in. Some don’t allow real estate… while others do. Just ask.
- Is my retirement account eligible to “roll over” into a SD-IRA? – Not all retirement accounts can be rolled over into a self-directed IRA. Most IRAs can be… and even some 401(k)s can be. Just ask your financial advisor and ask the representative at the SD-IRA company you’re working with.
- How long will it take for my account to be up and running and have funds available for investment? – Some people wait way too long to get this process rolling. If you know you want to use your IRA to invest in real estate… get the ball rolling on getting it rolled over into a SD-IRA account asap. Some companies may take weeks or even over a month to have your account setup complete and ready to invest. So, don’t wait until you’ve found a great real estate deal to get started… get started today so your funds are ready to invest when you need them.
Getting Off The Sidelines And Getting Your Money Working For You
If you feel a self-directed IRA may be a great way for you to invest a portion of your retirement in things you know (rather than the unpredictable stock market)… then dive in, take some time to educate yourself on the pros and cons of a SD-IRA (those websites I put above are a great place to start. They have all kinds of resources to learn more about self-directed IRAs and how you can use them to invest in real estate).

Frequently Asked Questions
General questions about our company, service, and properties we offer on this website:
- How can you offer me a great deal?
- How are the properties on this site different from ones I’d find on the MLS?
- Can I use bank financing to buy these properties?
- Do you offer owner financing or can I do a lease purchase?
- How do I make an offer on a property?
- How often do you add new properties to the site and VIP Buyers List?
Q: How can you offer me a great deal?
A: You’ll find excellent deals on investment properties on this site because of our local contacts, experience in the area and tireless efforts to constantly acquire new offerings. We acquire property from many many channels. These vary from homeowners that need a quick cash offer to get out of a bind, or agents with a “pocket deal”, to seasoned investors looking to offload a package of homes because they are ready to retire or a bank looking to offload a foreclosure. Some homes come to us needing a ton of work, others are ready to go back out the door with very little effort. Either way, we do what’s needed to get the home ready for rent or sale and get it back out to our partners like you. In many cases we also go ahead and place a tenant in the home, so it’s cash flowing for you from day one, and pass a portion of the discount we negotiated at acquisition along to you.
Q: How are the properties on this site different from ones I’d find on the MLS?
A: The MLS is the “Multiple Listing Service” which is where real estate agents list properties for sale. This means “you get what you get” from their sites and everyone has access. We do Acquisition, Renovation, Tenant Placement & Property Management all under one roof and we specialize in working with investors. So put more simply, we’re a one stop shop for people just like you and know what end product you are seeking. The homes you will find here are rarely on MLS, so you won’t find them anywhere else. With over two decades of key experience in investment property and mortgage lending, we are experts in sifting through 98% of the noise and finding the safest appreciating real estate assets to park your hard earned dollars in.
Q: Can I use bank financing to buy these properties?
A: Cash is king. So investors who can pay cash and who can close quickly get preferred access to our inventory. However, we’re still interested in working with you if you have at least a 640 credit score and a 25% down payment plus closing costs. If you need financing to buy a property you see on our site, contact us today and we can connect you with lenders that we recommend and have worked with before. We can even help you acquire financing with no income or asset verification, with a minimum 640 credit score.
Q: Do you offer owner financing or can I do a lease purchase?
A: Sorry, we do not market lease purchase properties. On occasion, owner financing is available and will be listed as such on the specific property’s details page.
Q: How do I make an offer on a property?
A: Simple, head over to our Contact Us page and send us an email or give us a call. We take offers first come first serve… and a telephone conversation is always the quickest. Once you connect with us and you want to purchase the property, we’ll require an earnest deposit to secure your offer on that property. Don’t worry, all our sales transactions are handled thru attorneys and follow all the proper channels that a standard real estate closing should. So you’ll have title insurance, a lien certification to ensure the deed is clear, etc. Call us today and we’ll answer any of your questions so you feel 100% comfortable and confident about the process.
Q: How often do you add new properties to the site and VIP Buyers List?
A: We’re always bringing new properties to the table … and we add new properties to this site on a continual basis. More importantly, only about 25% of what we do ever hits this site, as many deals occur directly with repeat buyers and individuals like you who stay in regular phone contact with us. So pick up the phone today to ensure you’re seeing the freshest available inventory.
