Advanta IRA Administration Holds CE Class for Realtors in Atlanta, Georgia: Using Self-Directed IRAs to Invest in Real Estate
Atlanta, Georgia (PRWEB) April 18, 2014 -- Advanta IRA Administration is committed to the education of investors—and professionals who serve investors—regarding all elements of using self-directed IRAs to build income toward retirement. Self-directed IRAs are unique in that they provide account owners total control in making their own investment decisions. Many investors use self-directed accounts to acquire alternative investments such as real estate, tax liens and certificates, and to invest in private loans and mortgages.
These facts should be of great interest to real estate professionals across the nation. Real estate is considered a safe hedge against the sharp edge of the stock market and the right piece of property can garner quite a nest egg towards retirement. “Realtors who are positioned to give advice to clients looking for investment properties can further serve these clients by having knowledge of the benefits of different types of retirement accounts, such as self-directed IRAs,” says Jack Callahan, Managing Partner of Advanta IRA Administration.
The real estate market has not fully recovered since it fell years ago allowing homeowners and investors alike the ability to acquire prime pieces of real estate at relatively low costs. While some potential homeowners may not meet the stringent requirements of traditional mortgage companies, realtors who understand how self-directed IRAs can invest in private notes and mortgages might be able to connect certain clients to achieve a win-win situation for all.
Self-directed IRAs are a great tool investors use not only to build retirement income but to achieve critical diversity in their portfolios. Alternative investments permissible in self-directed accounts include assets other than real estate, as well. “The opportunities are very broad and offer investors the ability to invest in assets they personally know, understand and can control,” says Callahan.
Atlanta-area realtors interested in becoming a more valuable asset to their clients are encouraged to attend this continuing education class to learn more about self-directed IRAs, rules and regulations, and just how easy it is for investors to use these accounts.
