Savvy investors capitalize on their own knowledge to acquire alternative investments in self-directed IRAs.
Atlanta, Georgia (PRWEB) November 17, 2014
A self-directed IRA is a unique retirement account that gives owners absolute control over their own investment funds and choosing their own investments. Those who self-direct understand their chances of success are better if they invest in things they know and understand. Commercial real estate investments are permissible in these accounts and can prove to be potentially lucrative for those who have knowledge in that area.
There are two types of investment types one can make regarding commercial property. Active investments are those wherein the investor is involved in the management and/or improvement of the property, which can be quite an undertaking. In a passive investment, a third-party property manager is hired to perform these duties.
During this lunch and learn, Education and Marketing Director, Monte Smith, of Advanta IRA Administration and Bob Godard talk to attendees about the advantages passive commercial real estate investments involve. Godard, CEO of Compass Real Estate, has been investing in real estate for 20 years and also has experience working with IRA investors. He will share his expertise and experience regarding these transactions. Smith will cover using self-directed IRAs to acquire these assets, the administrative details involved, as well as rules of investing with retirement funds.
“Savvy investors capitalize on their own knowledge to acquire alternative investments in self-directed IRAs,” says Jack Callahan, managing partner of Advanta IRA Administration. “Those who are familiar with commercial real estate transactions may find these investments are worth looking into—and can provide diversity in their portfolios.”
Advanta IRA offers educational events weekly for investors who wish to learn more about self-direction. Those interested in commercial real estate investments are encouraged to attend this upcoming complimentary lunch and learn.
