I’ve seen posts periodically about this, but I don’t think I understand how it works. Can anyone explain to me how to put an investment property into an IRA (or Roth IRA??)? Does the rental income become tax free? When can you take distributions? What about the gains when you sell, are they protected also? Any information would be appreciated.
I have used my IRA, it is called a seld0directed IRA. Since the new portablility law you only need to use a custodian, i use one locally (Fort Myers, FL, not knowing where you are?). They charge a nominal fee, mine is $200 a transaction. Using this self-directed IRA i can use this to defer tax. Each investment i do is different, but i will take the last one for instance, i purchased RE using 90% of my IRA and the other 10% myself, so at sale i will place 90% of the return tax deferred into my IRA and place the other 10% to m which i will pay taxex only on the 10%. The developer i invest with actually pays for these costs. .
