Commercial & Multifamily Property

Investing in Commercial & Multifamily Real Estate

Commercial property encompasses strip malls, restaurants, retail and office space as well as multifamily properties like condos and townhouses. Income comes from rent payments, dividends from an investment partnership, or proceeds from the sale of the property.

Your self-directed IRA can invest on its own or partner funds with yours, another IRA, or a person. Your IRA can also invest inside an LLC or LP where a percentage of the property is purchased and income and expenses are paid based on that percentage of ownership.
