Episode notes
INSIGHT

Acquisition Strategy Beats Cash-Only Thinking

  • An acquisition strategy is how you structure the purchase, not the asset class itself.
  • Using seller financing or a non-recourse bank loan lets an IRA buy more properties with the same cash and increase long-term ROI.
ADVICE

Avoid Personal Guarantees On IRA Loans

  • When using seller financing or bank debt with an IRA, never personally guarantee the loan.
  • Ensure any loan is non-recourse to avoid prohibited transactions.
ADVICE

Wholesale Contracts Inside A Roth

  • Use wholesaling with your IRA to tie and assign contracts when you lack funds to buy outright.
  • Do the deal inside a Roth IRA to keep profits tax-free on distribution.
