Foreclosures are Up, but So are Investments! Investment strategies have shifted and more and more people are focused on diversification than ever. With only a small amount of IRAs and 401(k)s rebounding a bit this year, many people are still struggling to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Except for the few who see the need to retire with a diverse portfolio of investment vehicles. Prices for Real Estate are the cheapest they have been since the 1970s, and for the perceptive investors, many are using self-directed IRAs to invest in the deepest discounts in Real Estate to help balance out their stock-heavy retirement plans. This plan has several positive points of interest. For one, these investors are not subject to the serious losses that the stock market can bring in a very short time. In addition, Real Estate has and will always be needed as long as people need a place to call home.

Using a non-recourse loan to purchase Real Estate with your IRA or 401(k) is a worthwhile way to make sure you have a diverse investment strategy as well as a new income source and a strong long-term investment for the future.
