There’s a lot of interest in real estate investing as a long-term vehicle for wealth, but did you know that you can use your retirement assets like an IRA to invest? Like a lot of people, Steve Medina was starting to feel worn down from his corporate job. So, he began investing in real estate as a way to pad his savings. First, he started off Nomading, which led to long-term rentals and eventually getting his realtor license. As his returns started to flatten, though, he knew he wanted to diversify. He began looking into passive investing options and was excited by the returns that syndications offer without the hands-on work needed to actively manage properties.
After listening to Lon Welsh’s webinar on tax savings through self-directed 401ks and IRAs, Steve did some research on how to apply these methods to his own investments. He showed us how to compare the different options—IRA, Cash, Roth, and Roth IRA—and which one allowed him to achieve unparalleled savings. Find out how you can unlock these savings and have more money to invest!
