5 Steps to Make Real Estate Investing Your Retirement Plan
Even though people will admit it or not, a
good number of real estate investors get involved with the industry to
make it a retirement plan for the future.
People who don’t have enough knowledge on real estate investment think of real estate as banks.
You put your money in real estate and it
will give you profit every month. And with the profit, you’ll fund your
retirement plan.
If you are one of those people who think real estate is this easy to be a retirement plan, it’s high time you learned the truth.
First of all, this is not how it works and making real estate investments for retirement is not that simple.
Allow me to guide you through the steps to make real estate your retirement backup.
Step 1: Select a good retirement plan
The first step is to pick up a good retirement plan that suits your investment strategy.
There are a few other things that you need to keep in mind while choosing a retirement plan.
First and foremost, you must ensure that
your plan provider accepts alternative investment options. For this, you
can consult with your financial advisors and finally decide which
retirement plan to choose.
Step 2: Funding the retirement plan with the qualified rollovers
For this step, you might need the help of your retirement plan provider.
Here, you’ll have to fund the retirement
plan. You can do it either the regular contributor or the qualified
rollovers or even both. But make sure you do things right. Don’t forget
to ask your plan provider for help in this regard.
Step3: Choosing the alternative investments
Now, it’s time to choose among commercial, residential or paper real estate, for example, notes, tax deeds, tax liens, etc.
Create the investment strategy clearly and figure out which of your assets will be helping you achieve the retirement goals.
This step is very important because you
don’t want to end up confused. Also, you don’t want to rush the decision
as it could be the worst decision that you made. So take your time to
think.
Step 4: Get it with the plan
The following thing on your to-do list will be to purchase the property via your qualified retirement plans.
If you are using Self-Directed Solo 401K,
your retirement plan will hold your property’s title. However, if you
are using the SD IRA, the title of your property will be held by the
custodian of yours.
Depending upon the retirement plan, to
fund your purchase, only in the Solo 401K plans, you have the liberty to
choose the non-recourse financing.
Step 5: Treatment of your income
All the profit or income that you get
from that property will directly go to your retirement plan itself. For
maintenance and repairing, the same principle will be followed. That
means, all the repair and maintenance costs that were incurred in the
up-keeping process, will directly go from your plan.
Also, all the profits and income you make from your property, you will enjoy tax-deferred growth till the distribution.
