Where to Get the Money to Do Your Deals Right NOW
Posted on January 22, 2012 byMany years ago when I was just getting started in real estate, I went to a Ron LeGrand seminar. I heard Mr. Ron say that you can open a Roth IRA and buy and sell real estate from it TAX FREE! I came back from that seminar so excited I could not sleep! I went over to talk with my older cousin, who is a long-time and well-respected Certified Financial Planner in this area. I thought, “Surely he will be as excited as I am, because now he can earn his clients much higher returns than they can get in the stock market, and I can use their funds to buy and sell real estate!” I saw it as a win-win-win for all three parties involved. I was going to finally earn the respect of my older, wiser, and wealthier cousin.
That’s not what happened. My cousin promptly told me that you can’t do that–you can’t buy and sell real estate inside a Roth IRA, and that it sounded like a scam and illegal to him. That was a huge disappointment for me, and I went home with my tail between my legs. I began to doubt both what Mr. Ron had taught me, and myself for listening and believing such pie-in-the-sky nonsense. When you are new to real estate, and even as time goes on and you gain experience, sometimes you just don’t know what is fact and what is fiction.
My experience with my cousin set me back a bit, but those of you that know me, know that NOTHING stops me from moving forward in the real estate game. I turned my setback into a comeback, by doing research myself and getting the FACTS, not just someone’s opinion. I since have moved on to know what you can and can’t do with Roth IRA’s, and my business has prospered as a result of not listening to the “they’s” in this world. Read More→
