On Wall Street or Main Street - it’s tough out there for investors! However, the combination of credit-market dynamics and inevitable balance sheet “repair” necessary by most financial institutions - will provide exceptionally compelling real estate investment opportunities over the next few years.

In order to maximize the unique opportunities that frozen credit markets and damaged bank balance sheets provide, investors will need to reallocate a percentage of their approximately $12 trillion “conventional” stock and bond retirement fund (IRA’s, 401(k)s and the like) assets – into real estate assets! How can this reallocation be accomplished? The Self-Directed IRA!

Self-directed IRAs can invest in real estate including commercial properties, raw land, rental properties, mobile homes, tax-liens, tax certificates, billboards, boat slips, condominiums, trust deeds and mortgages. Self-directed IRAs can also be used to invest in traditional stock, bond and mutual fund offerings.

Why haven’t I heard about Self-Directed IRAs? Wall Street broker dealers, money managers and retirement plan providers have a vested fee and commission interest to restrict your IRA investment options to only those - stock, bond and mutual fund investments - that their firm offers.
