ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT
Buying Land With Your IRA
Did you know that income from land purchased with a self-directed IRA flows back into that retirement account tax-deferred?
Buying land investments with your IRA diversifies your retirement portfolio and can offer better returns on investments.
1. IDENTIFY
Identify your investment property and agree to terms with the seller.
2. OPEN AN ACCOUNT
Establish an account by choosing a traditional, Roth, SEP, or Simple IRA. The banking entity will deposit income and pay expenses through the IRA at your direction. The banking entity provides record keeping and tax reporting for the account.
3. FUND YOUR ACCOUNT
Transfer funds from an existing IRA, rollover funds from a former employer’s plan (like a 401k), or make a contribution.
4. COMPLETE THE PURCHASE
Send final closing documents and required paperwork to your Trust. Your IRA owns the asset once purchased.
5. MONITOR YOUR ACCOUNT
Use the banking entity’s online portal to monitor your account. You can make contributions, request distributions, view statements, tax documents, and pay bills on behalf of the IRA. They also provide a secure document upload feature for time-sensitive delivery of important papers.
