Real Life Real Estate Investing (radio program)
There's a BIG difference between knowing that you can buy real estate in a self-directed IRA and figuring out how to actually run YOUR kind of real estate business inside one. For example, buying a rental with IRA money sounds pretty straightforward. But what if you're a rehabber who does some of your own work? Or you need to borrow money to buy the property? Or you're running a shared housing business where you're involved with the residents, the services, and the day-to-day operations? Can you still use retirement money? And if so, how? I've had John Bowens of Equity Trust Company on the radio more times than I can count, and he's explained self-directed IRAs and other tax-advantaged accounts to us from just about every angle. But this time, I'm turning the interview over to Tiffani Ray, and I think it's going to be a VERY different conversation. Tiffani owns long-term rentals, does rehabs, and specializes in supportive shared housing. She's an experienced investor, but she's NOT an expert in IRAs, 401(k)s, CESAs, or HSAs. So instead of asking John to explain retirement accounts in general, she's going to tell him how she actually makes money in real estate and ask him how she could use these accounts to do MORE of it. What could she do? What couldn't she do? What would she have to structure differently? And which strategies would be more trouble than they're worth? I think this is going to be useful even if you already have a self-directed account, because the devil is always in the details of how the deal actually works. 📻 Listen live at 5 pm eastern at 89.3 FM in the Greater Cincinnati area or online at streamdb3web.securenetsystems.net/cirrusencore/WMKVFM.
