American IRA will be hosting Ryan Hughes, founder of NRL, for a webinar on using non-recourse financing to invest in real estate within Self-Directed IRAs and Solo 401(k) plans. With more than two decades of experience in banking and retirement-account investing, Ryan brings practical insights from real-world transactions and financing strategies.
The discussion explores how non-recourse loans work, why many retirement-account real estate deals fail before closing, and how investors can use leverage while managing risk. Attendees will gain a clear understanding of the opportunities, limitations, and key factors that drive successful real estate financing within retirement accounts.

Protect Your Personal Balance Sheet with Compliant Non‑Recourse Leverage: Discover why a specific financing approach acts as the compliant backbone for real-estate inside retirement plans and how it isolates personal risk while unlocking purchasing power.

2. Choose the Retirement Account That Transforms Tax and Return Outcomes: Learn how account selection reshapes contribution capacity, control, and the invisible tax dynamics that alter net returns.

3. Close More Deals by Mastering Underwriting, Reserves, and Operational Flow: Peek behind the curtain at the operational frictions — from lender expectations to custodian timing — that commonly derail transactions and how savvy investors anticipate them.
