Opportunities for the Real Estate Professional - Your Own Account - Capitalize on your expertise - Clients IRA’s - Currently trillions of $$ in Retirement Accounts Currently less than 2% Self-Directed Real Estate is tangible, safe, & comfortable Typical Client?

Tax Deferred Investing Why Think Tax Deferral? • A tax-deferred or tax/fee environment may permit you to compound assets faster as a result (Rule of 72). • A Roth may permit you to prepay the tax & never pay tax again. Rule of 72: If your assets earn a 10% return it will take 7. 2 years for them to double. (Divide your expected rate of return into 72. For example, 72/12=6 years, 72/10=7. 2 years, 72/6=12 years. If paying tax on gains, how much longer will it take you to compound your assets?
