eHow Article: "How To Invest Your IRA Funds In Real Estate Tax Deferred"

Would you like to invest in a Real Estate investment such as a Raw Land Development but don't have money available to do?

Guess again!

What about your IRA account or your 401K funds? What, your account doesn't offer you the option of investing in such things? Well, you're in the majority, but not stuck there if you don't want to be.

On February 2, 2009, I wrote an article for eHow.com titled:

"How To Invest Your IRA Funds In Real Estate Tax Deferred"

The article explains that most people are restricted by the institution who manages their IRA in the type of investments that they can invest in. Fully 96% of IRA accounts today are invested primarily in what are called "Traditional Assets" which mostly include things like stocks, bonds and mutual funds. As a result, most IRA investment portfolios are at great risk in the event of a financial market downturn. And if this downturn is severe enough, it could wipe out a person's retirement savings or certainly set their retirement plans back for many years. Why is that?

The reason is, to be 'properly' diversified, an investment portfolio should be invested in BOTH Traditional Assets AND 'Alternative Investments' (which include assets like real estate, precious metals, oil & gas and commodities, to name just a few.) This is because Alternative Investments have price movements that are different from Traditional Assets, thereby reducing the risk within a portfolio and at the same time, increasing overall returns. To learn more about this, please view my article and video below:

Now here is the problem: 96% of investors' IRA accounts do not even OFFER Alternative Investments. Their IRA institutions only offer Traditional Investments. Therefore, people don't have a choice to properly diversify their IRA retirement portfolios.

What can you do about it?

For starters, you should read my article above titled "How To Invest Your IRA Funds In Real Estate Tax Deferred". It will explain the simple steps necessary to start investing in Alternative Assets like Raw Land Developments within your IRA account tax deferred by converting to a 'Self Directed IRA'.
