Did you know that you can invest in real estate with your IRA? A self-directed IRA is a type of traditional or Roth IRA, which means it allows you to save for retirement on a tax-advantaged basis and has the same IRA contribution limits. The difference between self-directed and other IRAs is solely the types of assets you own in the account.
Rental real estate is one of the assets allowed. You will need a Trustee or Custodian IRA Broker who specializes and manages these types of accounts. Once you find a custodian, you’ll open an account and contribute money to it, just as you would with any other IRA.The rental income generated is deposited back into your IRA account. There are rules to follow, of course, but this is an option of investment that many savvy investors are using.

Realtor.com reports SAN JOSE Ranks #1 where Home Prices have fallen most
Realtor.com reports that SAN JOSE, CA ranks #1 where Home Prices have fallen the most, in their findings, dated May 20, 2019. Most recently, the real estate market has experenced a shortage of available homes for sale to balance the demand of Buyer’s needs. Combined with super low interest rates, the results were that the Bay Area housing sales prices escalated at record-breaking speed from years 2011-2018. This year has delivered a “cooling-off” phase, in some areas, such as San Jose, CA as prices have softened and inventory has increased.
Houses priced right are still selling quickly, and some “over-asking.” The market is relatively balanced, and favorable for both Buyers and Sellers. The mortgage interest rates are low and there are more homes to choose from.
