Advanta IRA Offers Live Webinar: Real Estate Investing without Paying Taxes Using a Self-Directed IRA
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) March 27, 2015 -- Many people are under the mistaken assumption that in order to use an IRA for real estate investing they must first pull the funds out of the account, pay the taxes and penalties and then invest. However, by using funds directly from the self-directed IRA, account owners acquire the asset(s) underneath the retirement plan’s umbrella—avoiding any taxes or penalties, and preserving more capital to invest.
"A self-directed IRA gives plan owners total control over their retirement funds and investing decisions, allowing them to invest in what they know best—within the realm of their own comfort zones," says Jack Callahan, managing partner of Advanta IRA Administration. Income gained from assets held in retirement accounts grows on a tax-deferred or tax-free basis, depending on the account structure. Plans that can be self-directed include traditional and Roth, SEP and SIMPLE IRAs, individual 401(k) plans, and health and education savings accounts.
Self-direction is becoming popular as investors are learning that alternative investments can potentially present greater growth towards retirement income than reliance on traditional stocks, bonds and mutual funds. Real estate is the number one asset held in self-directed accounts.
Examples of permissible real estate options include:
- Single and multi-family homes
- Condominiums and townhomes
- Vacation rental properties
- Improved and unimproved land
- Foreign land
- Tax liens and certificates
Advanta IRA Administration, located in Atlanta, Georgia, is hosting this webinar on April 1 from 12:00 – 1:00 pm, which is offered at no cost to investors, individuals, and industry professionals who wish to learn more about self-direction and the opportunities these account structures represent. The class counts as a course elective for the retirement firm’s Advanta IRA University (Advanta U) program that educates CPAs, realtors, attorneys and other professionals who wish to learn how to better serve clients and potential clients who are investors.
Attendees learn about how the process works, what steps to take, and the rules and regulations that govern these transactions. The class will also touch on other types of investments that can be made with a self-directed IRA.
