SDIRA investing in CrowdStreet Deals

SDIRA investing in CrowdStreet Deals

Member since 2019 · 1 post · 0 votes

Hi All,

I want to use my SD-IRA to invest in Crowdfunding offering such as those on Crowdstreet, but I am still not understanding if UBIT (unrelated business income tax) and (UDFI) Unrelated-debt financing Income will be applicable to Crowdfunding deals if invested through SD-IRA.


Based on this article https://sdirahandbook.com/ubit...  , it seems like if the offering is a new construction, it is subject to UBIT. And most all deals on Crowdstreet, whether it is a new constructions or not, all have debt components and seemed like they are subjected to UDFI. Am I understanding the article correctly.

If UBIT and UDFI applies to Crowdfunding deals, it seems like there are not a lot of benefit to use SD-IRA to invest.

If you have any experience regarding UBIT along with Crowdfunding, could you provide some comments regardless whether you are a CPA or not (I won't sue).

I am also looking for CPA who understands SD-IRA and real-estate crowdfunding, and I am open to do a paid consultation. If you have any recommendation for a CPA could you let me know.

Thanks a ton.

    I have the same question David. And I think you're right. Here's my understanding from what I gathered although I'm not an expert: I believe most investments in Crowdstreet would be subject to UBIT and/or UDFI, unless they are structured as a REIT. Hope others folks can weigh in.

    If leverage is used in an IRA - it will be subject to UBIT. Solo 401K would be exempt.

    CrowdStreet REIT will not have UBIT as it will generate a 1099 instead of K1.
