    4 IRA Rules Every Real Estate Investor Must Know

    Investing your retirement account in real estate is something most people have heard of but never actually done — because nobody explained the rules clearly enough to make them feel safe moving forward. There are four basic prohibited transactions you need to know before you put a single dollar of your IRA into a real estate note or any real estate deal. That's it. Four. And once you understand them, you realize this is nowhere near as complicated as your financial advisor made it sound. Here's what we cover in this episode: The four things the IRS says you flat out cannot do with your retirement account — including why you can't personally guarantee a loan, why collectibles are off the table, and what "self-dealing" actually means in plain English. The disqualified individual rule — who you can and cannot lend to. The short answer: up and down your family tree is off limits. Everyone else is fair game. Your friends, your business partners, other real estate investors you know — all fine. Why note investing inside a self-directed IRA is one of the cleanest setups available. Your IRA becomes the bank. Another investor makes monthly payments directly into your account. No tenants, no toilets, no property management. The return comparison that changes how most people think about their 401k. If your retirement account is averaging 6% in mutual funds right now, and you could be earning 8.5%, 10%, even 12% on secured real estate loans — that gap compounds into a very different retirement. The difference between secured and unsecured lending, and why secured always wins when you're protecting your IRA. I am not an attorney or a CPA.
