Did you know that you can use your existing retirement account or IRA to purchase real estate investment property? As land and property values decrease, and investors look for new ways to diversify their retirement portfolio, many people are starting to use real estate IRA’s or Self-Directed IRA’s to add a new dimension to their investment portfolio.

There are several investment opportunties available, such as:

• Raw Land
• Single Family Rentals
• Multi-Family Rentals

For more information about real estate investments, please contact Tom Anderson at 404-277-9581 or www.tagatlanta.com.

IRC Section 408 Requirements:

Sufficient Funds:   All ongoing property expenses, including taxes, insurance, repairs etc., must be paid from the IRA.  If you do not have sufficient funds to do so each year, you may have to remove the property from the IRA and suffer the tax consequences of doing so.

No Self Dealing:

-         The real estate cannot be used by you as a residence or a vacation home.  It must be an investment property.

-         The property may not be real estate you presently own or owned at one time in the IRA.

-         Your spouse, parents or children cannot have owned the property before it was purchased by the IRA.

-         Your business cannot lease space in your IRA held property.

-         You cannot sell the property to a family member.

-         ** You may be able to withdraw the property from your IRA and use it personally when you reach retirement age.  However, there may be substantial tax consequences on the withdrawal.

Other Important Information:

-         The IRA custodian must actually hold title to the property.  The title would read “XYZ Corporation, Custodian FBO John Doe IRA.”  All contracts must also reflect the custodian as buyer.

-         The IRA account holder cannot serve as the custodian of the account.  In addition, the custodian cannot give financial advice; they can only provide custodial and administrative services for the plan.

According to a recent Wall Street Journal article by Jilian Mincer, the often used commercial real estate “sale-leaseback” agreement is becoming more popular with homeowners struggling to pay the mortgage.

As the housing market continues to decline in many areas, decreasing home values are putting many sellers and property owners in a difficult situation when the amount of their mortgage, or mortgages in many cases, is greater than the fair market value of their home.

There are ways to avoid foreclosure if you should find yourself in this position. In some situations, the bank who holds your loan will agree to renegotiate the terms of the mortgage so you can make your monthly payments. In most cases, however, the best solution is to try and negotiate a short sale with bank where the bank literally agrees to take an amount that is short of what their owed in lieu of foreclosure.

As discussed in the recent WSJ.com article, the full article can be accessed here, it is possible to negotiate a sale-leaseback with an investor to avoid having to move out of your home.

If you or some one you know is having difficult selling their home, paying the mortgage, or negotiating a short sale, please call The Anderson Group. With over 25 years experience in the real estate industry, we will sit down with you and figure out the best solution to your real estate problems. Confidentiality is a guarantee.
