Self Directed Investing
Investing In Real Estate With Your Retirement Plan
Countless publications have told stories about big Wall Street companies jumping in and buying real estate rather than stocks… because they know they can get a better return.
So, why are most Americans still trusting their own retirements… IRAs… 401ks… with the stock market?
The answer is, they don’t know any better.

The Self-Directed IRA/401(k) for Real Estate
There’s something called a Self-Directed IRA/401(k). They’ve been around for a while… and in the past several years, lots of people have realized that their retirement plans aren’t earning them a darn thing (sometimes even losing money). So, those people (maybe this is you) have started to look for other ways to earn better returns with that same retirement funds.
Enter the “self-directed accounts”.
A self-directed account is simple. It’s a retirement account that has the same tax benefits as a normal IRA/401(k)… but, you have more flexibility in deciding what you want your account to be invested in.
You can invest in…
- Real estate (commercial, income generating rental property, rehabs, etc.)
- Promissory Notes secured by mortgages (i.e. – private lending)
- Tax lien certificates
- Limited partnerships
- LLC’s
- Sub-C corporations
- Real estate options
- Some types of precious metals
- … and the normal investments like stocks that your normal IRA can invest in
Basically, this opens it up so you can buy investment real estate with your IRA/401(k)… or be a private lender in real estate.
