The Washington Post featured an article this week about a subject real estate investors have been talking about for quite a while – self-directed retirement accounts. In the piece, the author, an agent & investor herself, says the “the nauseating drop” in the value of her retirement accounts made her think about investing in what she knew well and understands – real estate.
“Self-directed IRAs are not for everyone…..it is best for those who know real estate or have a real estate expert to guide them.”
In addtion, the last two issues of the Real Estate Journal featured a 2-part series by NREIA attorney Jeff Watson on Self-Directed Retirement Account Investing. Click on the links below to read the stories.
