PODCAST EPISODE 309 – Buying Real Estate with Your IRA

ByPaul Adams

In this episode of More than Commas, Host Cory Shepherd discusses the challenges of owning real estate in a self-directed IRA. While it may seem like a smart way to diversify retirement investments, several factors complicate this strategy. Key points include the loss of tax benefits, as traditional deductions do not apply; prohibited transactions that restrict personal use and management; and financing limitations, requiring nonrecourse loans with higher costs.
