Self Directed IRA for real estate purchase?
Did anyone use a self directed IRA to purchase real estate property? If so, who did you use to facilitate this.
Thanks

More IRA questions
Quote:
And do you have to wait until you are 59 1/2 to withdraw money from a rollover IRA without incurring taxes/penalties to buy a home that would not be your primary residence? If I am still working full-time at age 59 1/2, could I withdraw money from my rollover IRA to buy a home in TV which would not be my primary residence, or do I have to be totally retired to withdraw money from my rollover IRA at age 59 1/2? And is there a certain maximum percentage of a rollover IRA that a person can withdraw at 59 1/2 if that person wants to use those funds to purchase a home that would not be the person's primary residence? |

As I understand it, no it's not the same as a rollover. In simple terms, we want to use money in an IRA to purchase real estate. A self directed IRA facilitated by a custodian (i.e., Bank, investment institution, etc) is set up so the owner (us) can deposit and withdraw funds without a tax liability. The real estate becomes part of the IRA. Many banks do not offer this service because real estate in an IRA is a tangible asset.
In terms of your other questions, I am not an expert to answer. But I bet if you google your questions, you'll get some info. Or others more proficient in this area can respond.

The IRA could purchase a limited master partnership interest that owned real estate but it is possible that LMP's could have taxable income even inside an IRA. My point is it can be done, but be sure you hire an advisor that has done this before and knows the rules. |

There is a guy with the last name of Potts who has given "talks" in TV regarding using your IRA to purchase real estate. Sorry I don't have any more information as I am in Illinois currently visiting my family but Mr. potts should be in the local phone book. I have been told he has set-up such transactions for real estate.

Thanks. I looked in the Village's phone book and there are four listings for Potts. Would you happen to know his first name or the company he's with

My wife thinks his name is Allan or Allen Potts and that is likely correct.

Hummmm, there isn't a listing for an Allen Potts; there's a Jim, Joseph, Earl and Susan.
I appreciate your help - any idea where he's spoken or if your wife remembers if he was affiliated with a firm or company

Thanks for the link rayschic; I'll have my husband check it out. Just wondering if it's worth it. We were thinking of purchasing a property here in the Villages for rental purposes.

We went to one of his "talks" a couple of years go, gave him all our info and never heard from him. He did not return our call! I get the idea he's only interested in helping you do this if you have a huge retirement account for him to get his hands on!

I did this a few years ago. I used IRA Financial Group to set it up, and IRA Services Trust Co to be the Custodian. The costs were about $2,000 to set up, and about $500 per year to operate. That includes the LLC filing fees.
Basically it works like this. IRA Financial Group creates an LLC for you to use to make real estate investments. You open a bank account in the name of your LLC. You rollover IRA funds to IRA Services and then direct them to invest in your LLC. They transfer funds to your LLC bank account, which you then use to invest. The only reporting requirements are an annual valuation reported back to the custodian, and annual filing fees for the LLC. You must be careful not to engage in any prohibited transactions. This basically means that you (or any members of your family) can not have an interest in a transaction. Also, you can't contribute your own labor to the enterprise, beyond what you would normally do for a self directed IRA. For me it has worked out well. I have purchased a few rental homes, and provided some high yield mortgage loans. IRA Financial Group seems to have changed hands since I used them, so don't take this as a recommendation. |
