Roth IRA real estate

Question: investment strategies when household income of 220k?

What are some investment tools used by people in this bracket? We have been discussing a max contribution to our 401k accounts, but it seems that we should do more than just this (IRA, CD, Money Market, real estate). What is a good rule of thumb for an emergency savings account? My wife and I are unable to invest in our roth IRAs due to AGI restrictions. What do we need to do with our current ROTH investment that requires 50 dollars per month?

Answer: My advise is to speak to several different Financial Adviser’s.
Ask them many questions. Like how long have they been in their position? Have they ever had any complaints filed against them?

Emergency Funds of 3 to 6 months of expense’s.

Now for the Roth IRA you mention that you can’t invest in your Roth IRA’s because of AGI restrictions, but you turn around in the following sentence and asking what do you need to do with $50 going into a Roth investment. If you max out the Roth then you will have to find somewhere else to put the money.

Pay off your home if you haven’t done so, that way you will have one less stress in your life.

Again, chat with an Financial Adviser and good look in your decisions.

Don’t forget about Term Life, get 5 to 10 times your pay.

ira unrelated business income

Question: In a Roth IRA it’s good to avoid MLP stocks. Is that also true for Ltd. companies’ stocks?

I’ve read that MLP (Master Limited Partnerships) distributions are considered unrelated business income (UBI) and can be taxed even though they’re in a Roth.

Answer: What you heard about MLP stocks is true. It is not true for Ltd company stocks. Ltd is just the English and Canadian, Australian, etc. version of the US’s Corporation or Company.

sep ira deadline

Question: I want to open a SEP IRA, rollover my 401k, and do stock trading…all with one company. Who’s the best?

I use Fidelity for my 401K, Ameritrade for my stocks, Wells Fargo for my checking accounts, INGDirect for my savings account, Chase for my credit cards and HELOC, and WaMu for my mortgage. I’m looking to consolidate a bit, so I don’t have to deal with so many different log-ins and interfaces. I also need to open a SEP IRA before the tax deadline. If I want to at least consolidate my 401K, SEP IRA, and Stock Trading with one company, what company should I go with? Schwab? Ameritrade? Fidelity? WellsFargo? ETrade? A different company? My must-haves are:
1. No/Low Fees
2. Good Customer Service
3. Intuitive Online Interface
4. Fast and easy set up (e.g. account set up, rollover, initial deposit, etc.)

Thanks for your help!!!

Answer: Vanguard will give you the lowest fees.

Schwab will probably give you the best service.

self directed ira questions

Question: I’m 65. Can short-term capital gains inside my IRA be offset with s-t K losses outside IRA?

I’m 65. I have to pay ordinary income tax on all of mine ira distributions (all my IRA contributions were non deductible). Question is, since the distributions are all related to short-term capital gains in my self-directed IRA stock portfolio, can I offset these gains with short-term capital losses in stock investments outside the IRA, and if this is possible, what IRS forms do I use. Thanks.

ira llc real estate

In part one of this series I told you about my quest for the real estate experts with the best trainings at the most reasonable prices and I told you a little bit about the 2 women real estate investing experts that I have found. Now I bet that you want to know who they are. In this article I will introduce you to the first and tell you how you can get more information about her.

First I want to introduce you to Wendy Patton. Wendy started her career as a real estate investor when she was 21. She went on to become one of the most successful real estate investors in Michigan, and to earn her real estate brokers license. She is also a licensed builder, and has her own real estate company, Majestic Realty LLC. She has experience in many different aspects of real estate investing including land development, commercial and residential real estate, foreclosures, and rehabbing, but her favorite way to buy and sell real estate is through lease options. In her seminars and home study courses Wendy teaches clients how to control real estate with little or no money down using lease option, lease purchase and subject to techniques. She is a featured trainer on REIBlueprints.com.

I have Wendy’s Wealth Building Arsenal which includes 4 of her home study courses: Working with Realtors, Getting the Deed, Buying on Lease Options, and Selling with Lease Options. It also includes 2 books – Investing in Real Estate with Lease Options and Subject to Deals and Remarkable Women, as well as 2 special reports, Investing in Lease Options with Your IRA and Tax Aspects of Lease Options. Unlike other training programs, this program has EVERYTHING you need to be successful at investing in real estate using Lease Options including contracts and forms that you can customize for your business. Wendy offers all this for $1998. I know that I have paid almost twice this much for similar courses that did not offer me the one thing that I got with Wendy’s course that I didn’t get with any other – an action plan that I could follow. You can find out more about Wendy’s program at http://budurl.com/wendypatton.

I just received all of the course materials a couple of weeks ago and I have finished Wendy’s book on Investing in Real Estate with Lease Options and Subject to Deals. The best part of her book is that it includes an action plan to help you get started. Wendy gives you a complete business plan to earn $120,000 in one year from real estate investing using the strategies in her book. She even tells you how to set up your office. Using her plan as a guide I was able to write my own business plan for the first quarter of 2009. If you can’t afford her entire program right now, but you’re interested in doing something with real estate investing this year, I recommend that you at least buy Wendy’s book. You can get Wendy’s book at Amazon.com at http://budurl.com/wendysbook for only $14.93.

Stay tuned for Part 3 of this article series where you’ll find out about the second expert that I’ll be working with in 2009.
