Are you looking to purchase real estate with your self-directed retirement account (SDIRA)? We have you covered! Our Non-Recourse IRA loans are available NATIONWIDE!

What exactly is an IRA Real Estate Loan?   

This is a type of loan where the borrower is the retirement account rather than an individual. It’s secured by collateral, typically real estate and conforms to IRS regulation. SDIRA loans can provide you with the means to diversify your investments to help build your retirement wealth in other ways!

 

Benefits of an IRA Real Estate Loan:

  • Retirement Income Diversification
  • IRA Real Estate loans allow you to invest in tangible assets that produce steady income.
  • Real Estate tends to appreciate in value, ultimately giving you a little extra for retirement life
  • The probability of inflation when it comes to real estate is likely which means you could see a rise to the rental income you make on the property
  • When doing a Non-Recourse IRA loan, personal liability is removed
