Why YOU Should Consider Real Estate Inside Your IRA or 401(k)

Have you ever considered using your IRA or 401(k) to buy real estate? Did you even know you could? Every day, thousands of Americans are using their retirement accounts to purchase investment real estate. No, they are not withdrawing their money and paying taxes and penalties. They are transferring their money to self-directed IRAs and 401(k)s and purchasing real estate directly inside their retirement accounts.

What kind of real estate can you invest in? Almost anything, as long as neither you nor an immediate family member already owns or lives in it. You can purchase single and multi-family rentals, commercial property, real estate notes and tax liens. You can LEND your retirement dollars to other investors looking for short-term loans. You can even purchase land contracts or buy property at auction.
