OK…I bought a duplex with my SDIRA about 10 years ago. Now I'm 65…how do I get this out of the IRA without paying a big chunk of tax? Can I do something with a 1031 exchange? Thanks, for any ideas.
Hi there – one more thing, Coach! During Covid, I have been interested in learning more about real estate investing and have been literally devouring your podcast daily – there is so much great information! I'm trying to take your advice about getting started without allowing myself to become overwhelmed and enter analysis paralysis! As someone approaching retirement (59 – yes, some of us are late bloomers!), I'm not going to be able to retire early if I just get started investing in real estate now, but I found this self-directed IRA topic extremely informative for diversification and I'm now researching that angle. What I would love to hear from you in a future podcast is an interview with someone who got a really LATE start on the investment side who has some strategies to share for those approaching retirement – at the traditional retirement age – say 65-70. I'm very curious about whether the self-directed IRA move to help finance a property through another investor is a smarter choice than getting into investment properties directly on my own. Hearing from someone who has navigated that space at a later age would be really helpful! Thank you so much for sharing such great advice and wisdom through all your channels!
Hi Coach – great podcast! I went to the American IRA website and downloaded the Guide to Self-Directed IRAs. I think you mentioned that you would share Sean's email address in the show notes, but I don't see it. Are you able to share? I would love to discuss my situation with him and consider this move. Thank you!
Coach, I'm M.K in your recent course. I'll post there to, but I currently have one home in a SDIRA, Roth. We just set one up for my wife, transferred funds into it and are in the process of buying a home in her account. I sent an email to you. I hope you can take us up on that request. Thank you!
Great interview, thank you Coach!
Great content, Coach. What do you use as a proof of funds when making an offer using someone’s IRA?
Great video Chad, and very interesting topic. I heard about this from one of your other podcasts and reached out to Sean a while ago (referencing you of course). I understand that they aren't allowed to match people with such IRA's with those of us who want to borrow. Is there any way to find people that are looking to lend against their IRA's? If so, maybe another topic for a video podcast sometime soon? I look forward to your videos each week and am enjoying your Property Analysis course happening now – learning a lot !
Hey Carson, I really like your style. I can tell you are a numbers guy. I know your course is closed. Do you do any paid 1-on-1 coaching? Please email me aj.mida@exprealty.com
Great info Coach. Though about using my IRA but never knew about using other people's IRA. Thanks Coach and Sean.
Awesome and timely for me Coach!
