One way I have helped investors fund deals is by using IRA monies.Even though the majority of people are stunned with what has happened in the stock market their next thought turns to how can I earn that money back?

Hello Clayton,Welcome to Bigger Pockets...I live up by Sedona.Question do you have many investors using their IRA or 401k monies to invest in commercial property?

One local RE CPA I consulted with will set it up for $4000 :crying:

I've seen a website that will provide state specific forms and instructions on how to set up your own SDIRA for $125. I'd like to post the website...

New to investing in general other than my IRA (which I wouldn't really count).

I also sometimes stay after the meeting for drinks and more talking/networking.Also, my REIA has several meetings a month: the general meeting (where the speaker usually comes), more specific meetings like an IRA one, women's meeting, landlord meeting, etc.

of IRA and 401k money toward these reserves requirements.

Don't plan on touching IRA/401K until forced at 70 1/2.

I would hold these investments outside of my IRA and hope to realize some tax benefits from my ownership interest.I do not know how to best structure this and how I can maximize my participation tax benefits or do the write offs need to be proportional to contribution.I believe structuring an investment like this is fair because it allows a new investor to get started and learn first hand what it is like to risk capital and make money based on the knowledge and experience I have.

I’ll be 18 soon and I want to know if I should put my savings in a Roth IRA or keep saving up for a property.
