Greg Herlean:我年轻时资金匮乏,通过自导IRA投资进入房地产领域。起初,我作为借款人,利用他人的IRA资金进行房地产交易。后来,我意识到被动投资也能获得收益且无需缴税,因此我创立了一家公司,帮助他人进行自导IRA投资。 我发现,只有4%的美国人使用自导IRA,主要原因是缺乏知识和教育,以及金融顾问的利益冲突。顾问们通常不会主动告知客户自导IRA投资,因为这可能会导致客户将资金转移到其他地方,从而减少顾问的佣金收入。 自导IRA投资并非适合所有人,需要投资者进行尽职调查和承担风险。但对于那些愿意学习和努力的人来说,这是一个改变人生的机会。 我的公司每月帮助150-200个客户建立自导IRA账户,并提供电话指导等服务,简化了流程。我们帮助客户将资金从其他账户转移到自导IRA账户,并指导他们进行投资。 自导IRA投资允许投资者选择投资标的,摆脱股票市场的波动,并投资于他们了解和喜爱的领域。75%的投资者选择投资房地产,因为这符合他们的需求。 自导IRA投资允许投资者进行各种房地产投资,例如转售、持有、批发和联合投资,但不能用于个人居住或使用。 美国有超过7.2万亿美元的资金存放在IRA账户中,这为各种投资提供了无限的机会。 并非所有类型的退休账户都支持自导IRA投资,例如当前的401k、403b或TSP账户。但如果这些账户中的资金已经转移到其他账户,则可以进行自导IRA投资。 即使IRA账户中的金额较小,也值得关注并进行自导IRA投资。 对我而言,“财富觉醒”意味着做出让我安心入睡的财务决策。 Brandon Brittingham:作为房地产投资者,我起初对自导IRA投资并不了解,直到最近才意识到它的好处。 我发现,很多人对自导IRA投资感到困惑和恐惧,认为它过于复杂。但实际上,只要找到合适的资源和指导,这个过程并不难。 我与Greg Herlean合作,帮助客户利用自导IRA进行房地产投资。我们提供多种投资方案,满足不同客户的需求。 客户可以根据自身情况,选择将部分或全部IRA资金转移到自导IRA账户中。 自导IRA投资具有灵活性,投资者可以选择参与实际的房地产交易,而不只是被动投资。 更多人不知道自导IRA投资是因为缺乏教育和宣传,以及金融顾问的利益冲突。
