Self-Directed IRA Administration Firm Explains What Realtors Need to Know
ASHEVILLE, N.C. (PRWEB) July 14, 2018 -- The Self-Directed IRA stands as one of the most powerful tools investors can use to protect their assets and take hold of their financial destiny. But is it something that realtors should also be aware of?
In the recent post, American IRA expressed just how common it is for those who hold a Self-Directed IRA to use these investment vehicles to hold real estate. While there are some limits on holding real estate with a Self-Directed IRA—such as the inability to hold a personal property within that IRA—many investors use the IRA to gain additional tax protections on their investment real estate.
According to Jim Hitt, CEO of American IRA, that can mean that it is worth knowing about these investment vehicles, even from the perspective of the realtor. “Realtors should know about this unique market segment,” argues Jim Hitt. “Not only are there plenty of investors out there who are interested in investing in real estate for retirement purposes, but these investors represent a market segment that realtors often ignore. Those realtors who keep in mind the Self-Directed IRA might find themselves with even more clients.”
Because investors can use Self-Directed IRAs to invest in real estate, that can lead to more clients looking for investment properties specifically. Through a Self-Directed IRA, owners are not allowed to directly manage or use the properties themselves, which means anyone investing with a retirement account would look for rental investment properties.
“Additionally, there are lots of different investments available to these types of clients,” said Jim Hitt. “Single family rental homes, apartment complexes, duplexes—as long as it is an investment property, it is available for potential use within a Self-Directed IRA.” That, Jim Hitt argues, means that realtors should be fully aware of this option and that many investors out there use it.
