Manage episode 520085279 series 3606824
Taxes don’t have to be the cost of doing business. Specialized custodian Mikey Liello breaks down how self-directed retirement accounts let you buy rentals, fund flips, and lend privately — compounding gains with powerful tax advantages.
We simplify IRC 4975 so you understand what’s allowed, who’s disqualified, and how to structure deals legally. Learn the three clean funding paths — cash, non-recourse leverage, and partnerships — and why the solo 401k is the real estate investor’s multi-tool for tax-free growth, liquidity, and avoiding UBIT.
Plus:
• What the IRS allows vs. what custodians offer
• Prohibited transactions and disqualified persons
• Cash, leverage, and partner funding structures
• Roth conversions, backdoor Roths, and step plans
• How to turn old 401ks into private money for your deals
• HSA and CESA strategies
