Buy Foreign Real Estate

If, like many, you have invested in a 401K or traditional Individual Retirement Account, you may have a general idea as to its direction, and chances are they are probably in the United States. There is nothing wrong with that, but ours is a large world, and there are many investment opportunities especially in the arena of foreign real estate.

If you think that investing in real estate through an IRA is either illegal or complex, you may not be aware of managed opportunities for such ventures, which are perfectly legitimate and have well researched structures and guidelines already in place.

Basically, it works like this: Your funds are placed in what is termed a Self Directed IRA. Professional Financial, Legal and Real Estate advisors assist you in the creation of a Limited Liability Company, which is considered independently owned. As such, it can thereby invest in a large variety of projects while still offering you protection from personal liability. You, being the owner of a truly Self-Directed IRA, will direct a portion of your funds into non-traditional investment avenues, with the remainder going into more traditional vehicles. With this structure, you will know just how, when and where your money is being utilized, and under the guidance of professionals, will have mechanisms in place for “hands on” maintenance and details of your assets or real estate ownership. With property values rising in conjunction with new construction opportunities-especially in rapidly expanding areas -it makes sense to use money to make money. Where else better to do so than in parts of the world currently looking for foreign investors ready to buy foreign real estate?
