Banks Invest Your IRA Money in Home Mortgages, Shouldn't You ?

You can pump high yielding, tax free profits secured by real

estate directly into your IRA!

I don't care what your banker or stockbroker told you, the IRS

says you can. (http://www.irs.gov/publications/p590/index.html)

You can earn up to 25% on your mortgage loan investment in a

couple of months on short term deals. Long term loans can triple

your investment while generating a cool, passive income stream

over 15 years or more.

You are probably aware that for every $100,000, in mortgage

money you borrow you are going to repay nearly $300,000 by the

time its paid off in 30 years, right? Wouldn't it be nice to

receive returns like that, instead of paying them?

You can!

The risks are extremely low on this type of investment. Banks

will loan over 100% of the purchase price if the loan is secured

by 1-4 family residential real estate. How much will they loan

you on your stocks? H'mmm!

The collateral is a family's home, the default rate is less than

1% and it is the most in-demand type of real estate there is.

money you borrow you are going to repay nearly $300,000 by the...

If the homeowner stops paying, you take the property and sell it

to recover your money.

Generally, there are two types of loans you would make, short

term and long term.

Short term loans carry a higher risk as they are usually made to

real estate investors, who buy, fix up and resell houses. They

borrow the money to buy a property all cash to get the best

possible price.

They would then either fix it up and sell it or just sell it if

it were in good enough shape.

These loans are generally for a year or less and pay interest

rates as high as 12% or more!

Your loan amount on this type of deal would usually be from

$25,000-$250,000.

The long term, purchase money mortgages made to homeowners,

would have smaller returns, just below the rates the banks are

charging, because of the relative safety of the loan. Loan

amounts would be from about $50,000 to $500,000. You could

invest alone or in combination with those of other investors,

forming your own private IRA Bank!

As the real estate market worsens, the easy bank mortgages will

dry up, providing greater and greater demand for these private

loans.

Think of the possibilities! You can rejuvenate your shriveled

IRA, 401(k) or Keogh by stuffing it with secured, tax free real

estate profits!

You can run a small, classified ad in your local paper or

network with real estate agents and you'll find clients.

In most states, you are allowed to make a small number of loans,

before you have to think about licensing, but check the law in

your state just to be safe.

Let your private, IRA Bank put you back on the road to early

retirement!
