Self-Directed IRA Administrator Explains the Importance of the Proof of Funds Letter
ASHEVILLE, N.C. (PRWEB) May 12, 2018 -- A hot real estate market can require investors to move quickly—otherwise, they might miss out on the best opportunities to secure a price on a real estate investment. American IRA, a Self-Directed IRA administration firm in North Carolina, recommends using a proof-of-funds letter to show other parties involved in the real estate purchase that the funds necessary for the transaction are indeed available.
In the article, American IRA CEO Jim Hitt writes: “One thing sellers love to see is a proof-of-funds letter. For most people, this is simply a verification letter from their bank showing they have enough cash on hand – or access to a ready line of credit – to make the necessary down payment on the property.”
This letter can be integral to moving quickly on a property, which is essential for those who use a Real Estate IRA for their retirement investing. Securing the right investment can often come down to timing. Many real estate investors have been known to say that money is made on the low purchase of quality real estate rather than on the high sale. That means negotiating the right price for an investment is critical to retirement investing success when using a Self-Directed IRA.
The proof-of-funds letter explains the funds necessary for such a transaction are there. For Self-Directed IRAs, investors will be limited to non-recourse loans because of the restrictions on the types of debt possible through these investment vehicles. Proof-of-funds can still be a valuable way to expedite the investment and ensure that both sides feel that they can trust each party to complete the real estate transaction.
“This is a topic we do not always touch on,” said Jim Hitt, “but it is something that needs to be said. Proof-of-funds letters can be a critical way to get involved in real estate while the market is still hot, which is critical for anyone who wants to build up their nest egg by using a Self-Directed IRA, or what we sometimes call a Real Estate IRA.”
