Common questions from IRA Real Estate Investors

What is a mortgage IRA, and how does it work?

A mortgage IRA is also known as a non-recourse loan. Non-recourse financing does not bear the same conventional liability of a traditional loan; in the event of default, the lender can only seize the property securing the loan. The IRA owner cannot personally guarantee the loan or use other IRA assets as collateral. (Ref IRS Pub. 590)

Can a self-directed IRA borrow money?

Yes! Using a self-directed IRA loan to invest in property can be a powerful way to build wealth. However, it must be a non-recourse mortgage, which can be difficult to obtain from traditional banks. This is where IRA Power Loans can help.
