Self-Directed IRAs and Real Estate – Important to Know When Selecting a Self Directed IRA

This article was put together with some of our actual investors based on their experience.

Q: Why did you set up a self-directed IRA (SDIRA)?

A: I had a 401k plan while I was working. That account was limited to investing in mutual funds, but I wanted to be able to buy rental real estate. A self-directed IRA permits investing in many types of “alternative investments”, including rental real estate.

Q: How did you set up the IRA?

A: When I retired I decided to first move (rollover) the money from current holder to an IRA account at another company  I was concerned that the current one would be more difficult to work with than the new one when I was ready to transfer to the self-directed IRA. For me this was a stepping stone towards my goal. After the self-directed IRA account was opened, I was easily able to transfer funds from the new company IRA to the self-directed IRA.

Happy New Year and Happy Holidays

from Simply Do It team!

Thanksgiving is behind us, Hanukkah, Kwanza, Christmas and New Years are on the horizon. These are truly happy, blessed times, to get together with friends, family and loved ones.

Year-End Event Last Week

I really enjoyed getting together with our intimate real estate investment family at our End of the Year Award event on December 6th in Mountain View. I joked about being a very lovable person, but it isn’t a joke any more. I truly felt loved that evening, with all the wonderful questions, some of them challenging, people wanting to meet with me and tons of warm feedback from all the attendants.

Two of our investors shared their personal stories and few of their investments. I am grateful to Thomas and Bobby for presenting their real life investments and answering all the questions with full honesty.

The Magic of Rental Properties

I love real estate investment; I am constantly blown away by many of aspects of Real Estate Investing, especially by the monthly payment checks that come to my mail box. But let’s not forget all the other benefits, such as tax benefits and someone else paying your mortgage just to name a few. Continue reading

2012 November Newsletter: Flip Example, Upcoming Events, Featured Property and Persoanl Note

A Personal Note from Dani

We are entering my favorite time of the year. Gathering with family and friends and focusing on gratitude is a very happy activity. I started Simply Do It Real Estate Investment with the goal of connecting real estate investors with competent teams around the US and bringing investors outstanding investment deals. I feel very grateful and blessed now that I’m able to help my investors accomplish exactly that.  Our network includes over 10,000 people from Europe, Canada, Australia and many parts of the USA.

Those of you who know me a little better also know that my spouse and I had our first child this summer and it is an amazing experience. Nothing like a newborn to make you appreciate and enjoy life (and sleep).

I would like to take this opportunity and thank all of you who are part of our network. Those of you who already stepped into investing and own one or more properties, I am grateful to have worked with you.

Please don’t keep us a secret, tell people about us and share the wealth of Real Estate Investment Made Simple with your loved ones.

Whishing you a Happy Thanksgiving and looking forward to seeing you at our next meeting and seminar.

Sincerely,
Dani Beit-Or, CEO

MARKETS UPDATES

You may have noticed that many markets around the country are heating up. This is no surprise. When you have: low inventory (Builders have not built new homes for few years!), low interest rate, a strong recovery feeling, and low housing-prices; there’s only one thing that can happen: Demand is going up.

With demand going up; prices will, and are following as we can see in many markets around the country.

How is this situation affecting you?

If you are trying to decide whether to invest or not, maybe you should stop thinking and start doing. Properties in many markets are not getting cheaper.  Continue reading

How Offerors Can Act Regarding the JOBS Act

In the prior two pieces I discussed how the “Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act” (the JOBS Act) requires the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC0 to adopt new regulations to allow public advertising of Rule 506 offerings and to allow crowdfunding. This article discusses how real-estate syndications, start-ups and other companies wanting to raise money (offerors/issuers) may want to act based on the bill.

One bright spot is that the JOBS Act preempts state securities laws regarding the public advertising of Rule 506 offerings and also crowdfunding. This is crucial because in the past, where the federal government has not preempted state law, the states have either not passed their own laws allowing use of the exemption or have added conditions that made the exemption unworkable. This is what occurred with the Rule 504, Rule 505 and Reg. A exemptions and why often they are not used. Continue reading
