The best part about investing with a Self-Directed IRA is that all income generated by your investments flow back into the plan without tax. While the prohibited transaction rules prevent you from benefiting from IRA-owned assets, there is a way to use your IRA-owned real estate property tax free. One such strategy is the 60-day IRA rollover rule which will give you free reign of your asset for up to two months.
On this episode of Adam Live, IRA Financial founder, Adam Bergman, Esq. will discuss how you can invest in a real estate property and take advantage of the 60-day rollover rule to personally use the property without running afoul of the IRS rules.
Join us LIVE on Wednesday, May 3rd at 12:00PM EDT!

About IRA Financial:
IRA Financial Group was founded by Adam Bergman, a former tax and ERISA attorney who worked at some of the largest law firms. During his years of practice, he noticed that many of his clients were not even aware that they can use an IRA or 401(k) plan to make alternative asset investments, such as real estate. He created IRA Financial to help educate retirement account holders about the benefits of self-directed retirement plan solutions.

Use your Self-Directed IRA Property Tax Free!
When it comes to planning for retirement, many individuals focus primarily on saving money in traditional retirement accounts such as 401(k)s or individual retirement accounts (IRAs). While these accounts offer tax advantages for future retirement income, they often limit investment opportunities to stocks, bonds, and mutual funds.
However, did you know that there is a lesser-known option for investing your retirement funds which allows you to invest in real estate and potentially grow your nest egg tax-free? This option is known as a self-directed IRA.
A self-directed IRA allows you to have more control over your retirement investments and diversify your portfolio beyond traditional assets. With this type of IRA, you have the ability to invest in alternative assets such as real estate, private companies, precious metals, and more.
One of the major benefits of using a self-directed IRA to invest in real estate is the potential for tax advantages. By utilizing this strategy, you can legally defer or even eliminate taxes on the income or gains generated by your real estate investments. This means that any rental income or profits from the sale of a property can be reinvested back into your IRA, allowing for significant tax-free growth over time.
To utilize this strategy effectively, it’s essential to understand the rules and regulations surrounding self-directed IRAs. One of the most crucial rules to keep in mind is that all investments made with your IRA funds must be for the benefit of the IRA, not for your personal use. This means that any property purchased using your self-directed IRA cannot be used for personal purposes, such as a vacation home or a primary residence. Instead, the property must be used for investment purposes only, such as rental income or flipping houses.
Additionally, all expenses related to the property must be paid using funds from the self-directed IRA. This includes property taxes, maintenance costs, and any other expenses associated with owning the property. It’s important to keep accurate records of these expenses to ensure compliance with IRS requirements.
Another key consideration when using a self-directed IRA for real estate investments is the potential for prohibited transactions. The IRS prohibits certain types of transactions involving disqualified persons, such as yourself, your spouse, parents, and children. These prohibited transactions could trigger penalties, taxes, and even the disqualification of your entire IRA.
To avoid prohibited transactions and ensure compliance, it’s crucial to work with a knowledgeable self-directed IRA custodian or administrator. These professionals specialize in self-directed IRA transactions and can guide you through the process while helping you stay within IRS guidelines.
In conclusion, a self-directed IRA offers a unique opportunity to invest your retirement funds in alternative assets, specifically real estate. By using this strategy, you can potentially grow your nest egg tax-free, allowing for more significant wealth accumulation over time. However, it’s vital to understand the rules and regulations surrounding self-directed IRAs and work with an experienced custodian to ensure compliance and maximize the benefits of this investment strategy. So, take advantage of your self-directed IRA and invest in real estate today!
Really great! Thank you for sharing!
Hi Adam..my client gave me your name & info. Great stuff. Would yo be willing to share the info on a group/zoom call with my coaching clients? I'm not sure 100% how th 60 days works – you are saying if i pull $100K from my ira (to buy a property) i have 60 days to put it back?
Adam,
Brilliant concept. Did you end up executing the SDIRA on the lake property? I am looking at something similar. Love to hear your strategies are panning out
Thanks
Jason
Do the 60 days need to be contiguous? Can I use it twice for up to 30 days each?
Husband and wife each have separate IRAs or Solo401ks. Do they each get a 60 day rollover period for separate properties if they each own a property in their retirement account?
What kind of paper trail is required to prove to IRS if audited that you took out the RE asset out of a Solo401k and replaced it within 60 days.
Do you have a template for each letter?
Why is there no need to change the title on the property when taking the distribution?
Why not just rent it to yourself? Why not just not rent it, and use it?
Q: What if the Real Estate is in an SDIRA via a Holding LLC, how could this strategy be used? thanks.
