IRA for Real Estate

By J.P. Dahdah, Founder & CEO of Vantage

Have you ever considered expanding your investment portfolio by using your IRA for real estate investments?

If you have yet to explore this investment option, now is the perfect time because the property market is only beginning to pick up and real estate prices are still well below their pre-2008 levels.

In this post, I’ll show you how to use your IRA for real estate to take advantage of the property investment opportunities around you.

1. Seek assistance in converting your traditional IRA to a Self-Directed IRA today. A Self-Directed IRA empowers you to make decisions about how to invest your retirement savings on assets that you deem profitable in the current economic environment. Contrast this with traditional IRAs that have very limiting guidelines on what constitutes a sound investment. Now with an IRA for real estate you can put your retirement savings into real estate and capitalize on the opportunities provided by a thriving and growing market.

2. Once converted, seek out favorable property investment opportunities in your area. Residential properties are particularly attractive investments following a recession because as the economy picks up, people will begin looking for a new home to replace their old one. By investing ahead of the upturn, you are putting yourself in the best position for success.

3. Keep buying and selling properties using your chosen IRA manager so you can grow your investment with multiple earning properties at any given time. The beauty of using your IRA for real estate lies in the fact that you are never really in a hurry to sell unless the profit opportunities are tremendous. Since you won’t be able to take advantage of your IRA profit until retirement, you can focus on investing at the moment and growing your portfolio as you prepare for life after work.
