Lexington, KY (PRWEB) January 20, 2012
Realtor Mag recently reported that optimism is building in the housing market. American IRA is noticing the increased optimism as they are receiving an overwhelming interest in Real Estate IRAs.
Jim Hitt, CEO of American IRA, explains, “Many people are surprised to learn that you can own real estate not just REIT shares or other stocks, but actual rocks, soil, brick and timber real estate within your Individual Retirement Arrangement. The IRA vehicle allows you to realize all the advantages of the IRA tax deductions, no capital gains taxes, deferral of income tax, asset protection, and in some cases, tax-free income while allowing you to invest in all types of real estate.”
Self-Directed IRAs
The key to using their IRA to invest in real estate is a special vehicle called the self-directed IRA , sometimes called a real estate IRA. With these plans, they take over the role normally played by investment companies, such as brokerage companies, mutual fund houses and insurance companies. Instead, they, or their designated representative, take close control of their IRA.
IRS rules dont allow them to have possession of the assets directly, however. They cant have a suitcase of stock certificates next to the pile of oily rags by the furnace in their garage and call that their IRA. Instead, they have to have a third party administrator hold the assets on their behalf. When they select our firm as the administrator of their IRA account, however, they have much more flexibility to invest in what they know than they would with a traditional brokerage or insurance company. If they are a mediocre stock picker but a real estate ace, it makes sense for them to stick to their circle of competence. Our firm lays the administrative foundation, and lets them do what they do best pick real estate within their IRA.
Prohibited Transaction Rules
The IRS does place some limits on what they are allowed to do with assets in their IRA:
They cannot use the property for their own benefit. This means they cannot stay in a rental property, even for a night. Many people make the mistake of thinking they can use the property for up to two weeks for their own benefit without losing the tax advantages of the IRA. It is true that tax rules for rental properties do allow them to stay in their own property for up to two weeks. However, this is not true for real estate within an IRA.
They cannot buy property directly from their IRA, nor sell directly to it. Nor can their designated beneficiary, nor any of ancestors or descendants or any spouse of an ancestor or descendant. For example, their IRA cannot buy or sell directly to their parents, grandparents or children, nor to their spouses. Furthermore, their IRA cannot buy or sell directly to companies or entities they own or control.
They cannot have the IRA pay them or their company to manage it, nor provide any product or service to it. They also cannot have their IRA do business directly with companies controlled by them or their family members.
Their IRA cannot do business directly with any of the professionals who service the account. For example, their CPA or financial planner cannot also be the person repairing the roof on a property owned by their IRA.
They cannot lend money directly to their IRA, nor borrow from it.
They cannot borrow money directly from their IRA, nor can they use their IRA to lend to their family members , defined as their children, grandchildren, parents or grandparents and any of their spouses or entities they control. However, siblings, aunts, uncles and cousins may be acceptable.
They cannot pledge their IRA as collateral for a loan all debt in the IRA must be non-recourse debt. They cannot sign a personal guarantee on a loan within the IRA.
They cannot commingle personal funds with funds within IRA accounts . They may, however, partner with themselves and others at the time of acquisition of the asset.
But enough of what they cant do. Here is what they can do, investing in real estate in a self-directed IRA :
Contrary to popular belief, they can, in fact, borrow money within their IRA to purchase real estate. It has to be non-recourse financing (terms may vary by lender); however, non-recourse financing and unrelated debt income tax (UDIT) will apply. UDIT is only assessed on the percentage of the profit that relates to borrowed funds. For more information on this topic, see our article on leveraged real estate.
They can collect rental income, tax-deferred and all the income goes into their retirement account.
They can own real estate within a Roth IRA and collect rental income, tax free.
They can sell property within the IRA without having to worry about capital gains taxes.
They can buy raw land.
They can buy residential or commercial real estate.
They can diversify by buying real estate in other countries.
They can use a tax-deferred exchange inside their IRA to defer UDIT tax.
Mr. Hitt concludes, “If you enjoy real estate, you want the chance to use leverage within your IRA account to fund your retirement, and you are up for acting as a landlord, you should consider using a self-directed IRA to own real estate. This is a great opportunity afforded to us by our government; however, you need to be watchful of a few pitfalls. If you are mindful of those pitfalls, this is a phenomenal tool.”

Washington, DC (PRWEB) January 05, 2012
Atlantic Information Services, Inc., publisher of Health Plan Week, Inside Health Insurance Exchanges, AIS’s Health Reform Week and ACO Business News, is pleased to announce its January 10 webinar, Setting Out-of-Network UCR Rates: Evaluating FAIR Healths Benchmark Data and New Alternatives for Insurers and Employers. See webinar details at http://aishealth.com/marketplace/c2m01_011012.
Its been nearly four years since New Yorks attorney general investigated the out-of-network reimbursement system used by insurers in the state and concluded it was flawed. UnitedHealth Group and 10 other insurers contributed nearly $ 100 million to a settlement, a portion of which was used to launch FAIR Health, Inc., a not-for-profit entity that has become a national clearinghouse for claims-based data.
Today, methods used to determine rates for out-of-network providers are coming under increased scrutiny. And rising deductibles and other out-of-pocket costs are leaving enrollees looking for tools that can help them estimate costs. Some medical societies have proposed that FAIR Health (and its 12 billion billed procedures for more than 120 million covered lives) become the default data source for determining rates for members who seek care from out-of-network providers. But some health insurers and self-insured employers have come up with alternative methods for determining Usual, Customary and Reasonable (UCR) rates for out-of-network providers.
Speakers Robin Gelburd, President of FAIR Health, Inc. and Robert Park a principal and consulting actuary in the New York office of Milliman will present the specifics about FAIR Health and other alternatives being used today by employers and health plans to set out-of-network rates.
During the 60-minute presentation and 30 minutes of Q&A, the speakers will answer these and other questions:
What models exist today for setting out-of-network rates? What are the chief advantages and disadvantages of each?
How does FAIR Healths new database differ from Ingenix databases? Whats new? What remains the same?
What are the pros and cons of basing out-of-network rates on a percentage of Medicare? How will FAIR Healths Medicare comparison tool work?
How will detailed consumer pricing information about out-of-network costs encourage members to stay in network?
What are the chances that FAIR Health will become the industry standard? What must take place for this to happen?
How should benchmarking data be used to determine charges under value-based payment mechanisms such as an ACO?
