Are you using your IRA to invest in a multifamily syndication? Then brace yourself for an unexpected tax bill when the asset sells. If, on the other hand, you’d prefer not to owe the IRS for Unrelated Business Income Tax (or UBIT), it’s time to consider a Qualified Retirement Plan (or QRP) that gives you more control over your money and makes it much easier to invest in real estate!

Today, Damion joins me to explain why the current retirement system is broken and discuss the problem with using your IRA to invest in multifamily real estate. He walks us through the fundamentals of UBIT, describing how you can be blindsided by a BIG tax bill when an asset sells.  Damion also offers insight around the alternative to the IRA that is exempt from UBIT, the QRP. Listen in to understand the multiple benefits of the QRP as a retirement vehicle—and learn how to regain control of your retirement savings AND maximize your profits as a multifamily investor.
