After working with thousands of tax lien and tax deed investors we have noticed an increase in the students that would like to use their retirement savings for investments. These Tax Lien Investing students have the motivation and desire to invest in the lucrative world of tax lien certificates and Tax Deed Properties, but may not have the initial capital to get started. Many of these students simply want to increase their investment portfolio and are tired of seeing minimal returns, and in some cases, losses.
Many students have money sitting in a 401K, 403B or a Tax Sheltered annuity generating a very limited return. They may have even set up an IRA, but are not getting the full benefits and the returns they desire. To understand how this works it is vital to first understand what an IRA is and how it works:
IRA stands for Individual Retirement Account. A traditional IRA account is a tax-deferred account for personal retirement funds. The IRA account can grow tax deferred until withdrawn. A 401k can be transferred to a self-directed account, and when done correctly it puts you in the financial driver's seat.
There are many companies that set up these accounts. We don't recommend one over the other. You can find them through an Internet search engine. Whatever company you choose to set up your self directed IRA with will have similar processes and requirements. We recommend checking into several different companies to find the best rate and the company that is easiest to work with. They will help you set up your account and give you the guidelines pertaining to investing. You will also be given a Tax Id number that will be connected to you IRA account.
"What Forms and Information will be required before Investing?"
It depends on the custodian you are working with, but most will ask for the following:
- General account info; Name, Address, Tax ID number, etc.
- Description of the tax lien or tax deed
- Amount of funds needed
- Which county to make the check to
- How the funds will be remitted
