What’s New
by Kathy Fettke
We are so excited to finally be launching our long-awaited Real Wealth Investor Academy!

Real estate is red hot right now, so it’s more important than ever to jump in now AND know what you’re doing.

The kick-off event starts February 9, and features industry experts, including Greg O’Donnell from KSFO’s Money Matters.

If you can’t make the live event, no worries. The content will be professionally recorded and uploaded to the Real Wealth Investor Academy website.

We are starting with the “Investor Essentials”, which will be valuable for new and experienced investors alike.

Do you really know what to look for in an inspection report, a BPO or an appraisal? Do you truly understand how to perform your due diligence? How do you screen a property manager and put together a contract in your favor?

These are just some of the cutting-edge topics included in the Real Wealth Investor Academy. All content will be taught by experienced investors, accessible on-line, one hour per week, at your pace.

And the best news is: we are offering charter memberships until April 1st for half-price! You can lock it in for just $47 per month.

Find out more about the Feb 9 event here.

Woohoo!

Real Wealth Investor Academy Kick-Off Event:
Real Estate Investor Essentials
You probably know that real estate is just now recovering from the largest down-turn since the Great Depression.

And you probably know that the over-correction was so great that property can be purchased well-below replacement cost.

But what you may not know is how exactly to take advantage of this opportunity of a lifetime.

That’s why we’re hosting a full-day event, focused exclusively on real estate investor essentials. Find out:

– How to make enough passive income to quit your day job
– Comparing real estate strategies (and which one is best for you)
– Savvy ways to manage your property manager
– How to legally self-direct your IRA to invest in real estate
– The incredible tax benefits of owning income property
– The new rules for lending and how to get investor loans

You can make a fortune in real estate. You can lose a fortune in real estate. The difference is based on how much you know.

Learn from the experts. Minimize your mistakes.
Be a savvy investor.

Solo 401k Use of Debt Financing for Real Estate Purchase

By

Written by guest blogger: Jeff Boyle, from Concord, California

When a Self-Directed Solo 401k uses debt financing for the purchase of real estate, whether rentals, fixer-uppers, commercial or foreign real estate, it is commonly referred to as non-recourse loan Solo 401k.

Why consider Non-Recourse Loan for Solo 401k real estate purchase?

The Solo 401k regulations do not allow for the use of Solo 401k funds as security for a personal loan nor can the Solo 401k owner loan his or her personal funds to Solo 401k. However, the Solo 401k can obtain non-recourse loan from third party such as a hard money lender or bank, e.g., North American Savings Bank. When Solo 401k obtains a non-recourse loan, the Solo 401k increases amount available for purchasing real estate. Further, since the loan is to the Solo 401k, in the event of default, the lender can only come after the real estate securing the non-recourse loan, not the other Solo 401k investments or the Solo 401k owner’s personal assets.

Because the non-recourse loan is to the Solo 401k plan instead of the Solo 401k owner, the loan qualification requirements through a bank are not the same in that the non recourse lender will NOT perform the following.

  1. Will not check to see if you are employed
  2. Will not check your income
  3. Will not look at your W-2’s
  4. Will not look at your tax returns
  5. Will only look at solo 401k assets not your personal assets

Lastly, not all Solo 401k plans allow for the purchase of real estate; therefore, before proceeding to open solo 401k for investing in real estate and entertain the possibility of using a non-recourse loan, make sure the Solo 401k providers plan documents allow for investing in real estate.
