Real Estate in IRAs

Little-Known Secret Allows Real Estate Investors to Create True Wealth

Historically, real estate has given many Americans with a stable investment vehicle that provides both income and appreciation. One of the greatest tools available to real estate investors is government-sponsored retirement plans, such as IRAs and 401(k)s.

Most investors believe that their only IRA investment options are bank CDs, the stock market, and mutual funds.

Few Americans realize that they have the option to self-direct their IRAs and other retirement plans into real estate—and that they can benefit from the tax advantages those plans provide. IRA investments earn tax-deferred/tax-free profits.

Imagine not having to pay taxes right away—or ever—on your real estate deals. Instead of paying 25%, or 30%, or even 50% of your profits to the government in taxes, you keep it.

Additional advantages of the real estate IRAs include:

• The power of compound interest
• A reduction of taxable income
• Asset protection
• Estate planning

If you're a successful real estate investor, or if you're just looking to diversify your retirement portfolio, the combination of real estate and your IRA can be very powerful.

Modernize for Profit - No. Phoenix

This home was the definition of good bones but was functionally obsolete. The small kitchen separated from the dining and family room, a sunken living room and tiny master bath with a single sink made the home show its years. The back patio with the aluminum patio cover was functional but not attractive to the home buyer of today.

We updated the home to modern standards and finishes. The list of major improvements was.
1. Filled sunken living room.
2. Expanded kitchen and added island.
3. Moved dropped HVAC ducts to attic space for improved ceiling height.
4. Expanded master shower and added shower seat.
5. Created double sink for space for master bath.
6. Created a walk in master closet.
7. Changed all windows and doors.
8. Expanded front patio and brick treatments adding curb appeal.
9. New rear patio cover tied to house and allowing mountain views.
10. Removed trees and thinned overgrown landscaping.

The interior of the house was finished with modern finishes, fixtures, appliances and great attention to detail.

When finished this home sold in two weeks for a handsome profit. Knowing what the marketplace wants when updating an older home makes a difference when selling fast at a profit. Cutting corners always shows up to the home buyer, either by their experience in home shopping or at an inspection.

Doing a job once, doing it right, even at a higher cost can save thousands in carrying cost or price reductions versus marketing a property that was not appropriately put to market.
