Maximizing Your Retirement: Investing in Real Estate Through a Self-Directed IRA
If you've dreamed of investing in real estate, but wondered how you would save for a downpayment, this is where learning about investing in a Self-Directed IRA can open doors. Investing in real estate through a Self-Directed IRA (SDIRA) allows you to diversify your retirement portfolio beyond traditional stocks and bonds. With an SDIRA, you can purchase various types of real estate, such as rental properties, commercial buildings, or raw land, directly within the account. The income generated from these investments, like rental income or property appreciation, grows tax-deferred (or tax-free in a Roth IRA) until you withdraw it in retirement. However, it’s important to follow specific IRS rules to avoid penalties, such as ensuring all expenses and income flow through the IRA and avoiding personal use of the property.
