Denver Real Estate Investment…a Ripe Opportunity

Watch this Video for a national perspective on the fundamentals of Investing in Denver Real Estate.

If you have considered investing in real estate but all of your disposable income is tied up in retirement accounts, I have a solution!  You can ABSOLUTELY use your personal IRA account as a self-directed vehicle to buy single family homes.

You can do this on your own, or form small partnerships of up to four members.  You would then take part of you portfolio and invest in homes rather than the stock market.  The great thing about real estate is it is an investment asset that always has demand, shelter!

Just a few key factors of using your IRA to buy Real Estate:

• You pick the individual property you want to buy and negotiate the price and terms.
• Your IRA is held by a custodian, Lincoln Trust Co. is the one I use. This is no different than Merrill Lynch, or Dean Witter, etc.
• Your custodian holds title for your benefit, in the percentage you own for a specific property. Example: Lincoln Trust Co. for the benefit of Bob Schenkenberger 52%, and Lincoln Trust Co. for the benefit of John Smith 48%.
• All net rental proceeds go directly into your IRA account, tax deferred, just like when your IRA stocks earn dividends.
• You name the property manager of your choice, including a relative.
• When you sell the property, any gains go directly into your IRA account, no capital gains taxes. Just like when you sell a stock for more money than what you paid, it just adds to your account.
