Use Your IRA to Invest in Real Estate

Learn to take control of your retirement funds and invest them in the asset you know best . . . real estate! Many people believe they can't put real estate into their retirement account. The reason for this is the brokerage houses and other retirement account administrators which specialize in stocks, bonds and mutual funds have no incentive to tell you about other alternatives. When you ask them, "Can I invest in real estate with my retirement funds?" they answer, "no." But they forget to add three words: "not with us."

This session will demonstrate how you (and your clients) can use IRA funds to invest in real estate. Plus you'll learn what properties are best suited for a real estate IRA.

Big League Hardball:
An Advanced workshop on Commercial-Investment Real Estate

Are you tired of "softball" real estate seminars that don't meet the needs of commercial-investment practitioners?

If so, this fast-paced, up-to-the-minute workshop is for you. The focus is exclusively on how to buy, own and sell commercial-investment real estate for maximum profit.

In addition to updates on current tax issues, the topic of "return on equity" will be covered in detail. Generally, the longer a property is held, the greater the equity. A savvy investor should calculate the rate of return on that equity every year. Eventually, the rate of return will be less in the current property than it could be in another property.

Property owners can greatly boost the rate of return - and increase their wealth - by moving the equity from their current property to one, or more, new properties. It's a powerful way to increase your listings, plus make more sales.
