Real Estate in Your IRA? Self Direct and Take Control!

By Jack M Callahan, J.D., CFP™

This is the first installment in a series of monthly educational articles that will detail how investors can utilize the powerful tool of self-directed IRA’s. Stay tuned!

If you haven’t heard about buying real estate inside your IRA, your first reaction might be, “You can’t do that!” Despite the attention, including articles in Business Week (Nov. 18, 2002; Aug. 2003), The Wall Street Journal (Dec 18, 2002; Jan 15, 2003), and other publications, many investors today still do not realize they can invest their retirement plans into real estate. Many feel “trapped” in their stock market investments due to common misconceptions about the types of investments that are permitted within IRAs and other retirement plans.

It’s all about the Custodian
The widespread misconception that permissible IRA investments are limited to stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and Certificates of Deposits is a result of people and companies who are in the business of selling these products. The IRS requires that you have an approved custodian for your IRA or other retirement plan. The IRA custodian for the vast majority of investors is a bank, brokerage firm, or mutual fund company – the companies who are in the business of selling investment products. These custodians simply choose to limit your IRA investment choices to the products they sell. The widespread misconception is that these limits are placed on IRA investors by the IRS, which is simply not the case. The only investment types that are prohibited by the IRS rules are collectibles, such as artwork and antiques. The IRS rules allow you to invest your IRA into real estate, lend your IRA as a mortgage loan and many other investment alternatives - AS LONG AS YOU HAVE A CUSTODIAN THAT IS WILLING TO ALLOW THESE INVESTMENTS!

A truly self directed IRA custodian does not sell any products, does not give investment advice, and does not limit your IRA investment options. With a truly self directed IRA you are able to “Unlock Your IRA” and invest in rental property, rehabs, commercial property, raw land, pre-construction contracts, lease purchases or virtually any other form of real estate. All of the income from the investment goes back into your IRA and all of the expenses of the property are paid from the IRA, all without any taxes! You find the property, you make all of the decisions and your IRA reaps all of the benefits!

Jack M. Callahan, J.D., CFP™ is an Attorney, a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™, and Managing Member of Entrust of Tampa Bay, LLC.

More Testimonials at: www.LittleKnownBankingMethod.com
One of the most amazing things to us about this whole process is how we have been able to take our money that was just being wasted away or sitting in an account that made no interest and use it in an organized way and see how much difference it made in our progress towards paying off our mortgage. We’re not losing anything in the process... we seem to buy the same things that we always have but the money is just more efficiently used. I think that if we can do it, anyone could and it’s just an incredibly positive feeling. Some things seem like they’re too good to be true, but this one is the real deal.

Statewide Grassroots Coalition Launches
1.35% Property Tax Cap Initiative

Petitions to be collected via http://www.cutpropertytaxesnow.com

TAMPA, Fla., Nov. 20 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A statewide coalition
of property tax cut activists announces its support of a 1.35% PROPERTY TAX CAP amendment to the state constitution. Tax reform groups representing taxpayers from all over Florida have united behind this initiative.

The constitutional amendment, sponsored by Cut Property Taxes Now,Inc., provides an estimated $8 billion in property tax relief. All Florida property owners would benefit with a 26% property tax cut on average.

The 1.35% plan also preserves Save Our Homes and all other Homestead exemptions by applying the cap to a parcel’s taxable value (Just Value minus “Save Our Homes” and Exemptions equals Taxable Value), the value government assesses taxes against.

“We are tired of waiting for the politicians to solve this crisis and have taken matters into our own hands,” said anti-tax activist Dr. David McKalip of Cut Tax
