Real Estate IRA Investors Should Consider Self-Direction
Asheville, NC (PRWEB) September 19, 2017 -- Many people these days invest in real estate through something called the REIT—or real estate investment trust. This investment vehicle is an interesting way for investors to diversify out of the stock market and hold a portion of real assets. But Jim Hitt, CEO of American IRA in North Carolina, pointed out that through a Real Estate IRA, retirement investors can hold wholly-owned real estate in a retirement account—and that this can be a tremendous way to build wealth over the long term.
One problem, Jim Hitt argues: the declining demand in retail real estate. Because of large companies like Amazon removing the need for physical retail presence across the country, real estate investment trusts that are heavily slanted toward this kind of industry are likely to hurt in the coming years. This means that an investor who wants to hold some real estate in their retirement account might have to look for other ways to find value.
“With this article, I wanted to show that there are different ways of real estate investing,” said Jim Hitt. “Many investors think that REITs are the only way to go. And while they’re an easy and convenient way to hold some real estate in your portfolio, there are reasons you’ll want to do your research before you get directly involved. The same is true of any asset. But with declining demand for long-term retail space, investors should look at ways they can self-direct their own financial destiny using real estate that still has high demand.”
As CEO of American IRA in North Carolina, Jim Hitt runs a Self-Directed IRA administration firm that serves as a “custodian” to a Real Estate IRA, for example. This alternative for real estate investing can be a tremendous way to build wealth with successful investments. Jim Hitt notes that while there are regulations and rules to consider when investing in real estate this way, there are a number of advantages as well.
