The Expat Money Show - With Mikkel Thorup 292: From IRA to International: Investing In Foreign Real Estate With Self-Directed IRAs
TODAY’S PRESENTATION ON USING SELF-DIRECTED IRAS FOR INTERNATIONAL REAL ESTATE
- Tune in to meet Matt, who was referred to me by a trusted real estate partner as the “best in the business” when it comes to understanding American retirement accounts and foreign real estate.
- Discover how Matt first became interested in the niche area of self-directed IRAs after previously being involved with more conventional mutual funds.
- Learn how a self-directed IRA is unique from most in that you can direct and manage your own portfolio, including the type of assets you invest in.
- Uncover the wide variety of assets that you can own using self-directed IRAs, from precious metals to cryptocurrency to international real estate.
- Do you already have an account that can fund a self-directed IRA without your realizing it? Find out the most common ways to fund self-directed IRAs.
- Learn the differences between a “traditional IRA” and a “Roth” IRA - and the tax implications of each. This knowledge is absolutely crucial for understanding how to use these types of accounts to your benefit properly.
- Discover the very few types of assets that retirement accounts are prohibited from managing. Cross these off your list of investment ideas for IRAs.
- Hear about the most common mistakes people make using self-directed IRAs so that you don’t make them yourself!
- By the end of this episode, you will know everything you need to know about using your retirement account to purchase international real estate and protecting yourself from a coming stock market crash.

I am always harping on the fact that the stock market is about the most dangerous place you can have your money right now, so much so that I have nearly divested myself of stocks completely as the world continues to move away from the dollar and the U.S. economy rests on shaky ground. It’s crucial to act now to protect your wealth with overseas investments. While this episode won’t necessarily apply to my many listeners from Canada, Australia, Europe and all around the world, stay tuned because we are actively working to put together information about how to utilize retirement accounts from other countries as well.
