About this episode

Did you know you can buy real estate using your IRA or 401(k)? Most real estate entrepreneurs are unaware of how easy it is to buy real estate with their retirement money. 

Welcome to the world of Real Estate IRAs.

1. What is a Real Estate IRA?

A real estate IRA is a supercharged IRA that enables you to invest your retirement money directly into real estate such as multi-family, commercial, land, fix-and-flips, tax liens, and more. It has the same tax benefits as a regular IRA and can be set up as a Traditional, Roth, or SEP Real Estate IRA. 

A Real Estate IRA is also known as a Self-Directed IRA.
