IRA Property Investments
|
Seldom does your financial advisor recommend Real Estate as an option for building your IRA portfolio. Yet, a real estate purchase can be a very creative, and sound way to maximize building it's value. We are well versed in what guidelines you must follow and have great resources at hand to help you consider making a real estate contribution to your retirement fund.
According to the experts at Quantum Advisors, specialists in this area of investing, most investors are not offered these options within traditional IRAs. The following excerpt from the white paper "Personalized Retirement Planning Using Real Estate Investments" is reproduced with permission.

"You can?t use IRA money to buy your own residence, or any other property in which you live. It must be investment property. But when you retire, you can direct your IRA to turn the property over to you as a distribution, at the current market value. Real estate investing through an IRA opens up a huge range of investment alternatives for people who are knowledgeable about real estate investing, or who work with knowledgeable advisors, sponsors or brokers.
Investing in real estate for your retirement may serve as a means to diversify your retirement portfolio to hedge against the cyclical changes in the stock market, economy and bank and government-based investments.
Why Real Estate belongs in a retirement account
There are four basic reasons that real estate belongs in a retirement account:
1. Real Estate offers predictable income.
2. Real Estate offers potential increases to your capital investment.
3. Real estate has a low correlation with other asset classes.
4. Real estate is in your control.
5. A bonus. Today, another reason is on the minds of Americans; your particular real estate is an unlikely terrorist target."
