Discover the Power of Real Estate in an IRA

Here’s why self-directed IRAs are game-changing for real estate investors:

Expanded funding possibilities

Looking for funding for an investment opportunity? Boost your purchasing power with your retirement account, an often-overlooked source of capital.

Investment freedom

Nearly unlimited IRA investment options – including real estate rentals, fix and flips, raw land, mobile homes, and more – enable you to create a portfolio that truly works for you.

Keep more of what you earn

Sick of paying taxes on your real estate investments? A retirement account provides you with the opportunity for tax-free or tax-deferred profits.

Look out for loved ones

Leave a legacy for those you love and care about: Certain self-directed accounts allow beneficiaries to receive the account’s assets after the account owner’s passing with little to no tax.

With a self-directed IRA from Equity Trust, you have the backing of an industry-leading custodian. Enjoy the benefits of checkbook control, online account management, an investment portal, and more than 400-plus dedicated employees to provide personalized service and support.
