The Next Big Revenue Boom: IRA Real Estate
Financial Companies Host Industry-wide IRA Real Estate Tour

SAN FRANCISCO (October 23, 2007) – Due to declining property values nationwide and the sub-prime mortgage “melt down,” real estate professionals are looking for new revenue streams. The most promising, untapped source of funds for real estate investments is the $4.2 trillion dollar Individual Retirement Account (IRA) sector. Since more than half the nation’s wealth is invested in real estate the question many financial insiders are beginning to ask is, “Why isn’t your IRA invested in Real Estate?” The answer while seemingly obvious is that most real estate professionals, CPAs, lawyers, financial planners, and especially the general public don’t know that IRA’s can be invested in real estate.

RPIC (Retirement Property Investments Corporation), Imperial Capital Bank, North American Savings Bank, IRA Services, and North American Title Company are launching “The Real Estate IRA Seminar”, to educate forward-thinking real estate professionals and consumers about the lucrative investment opportunities for retirement using self-directed IRAs to purchase profitable real estate.

On December 3, 2007, in South San Francisco, California, RPIC will host the first in a series of nationwide seminars on IRA real estate investing featuring David Newman, Chief Executive Officer of RPIC, a real estate industry veteran with over 27 years of experience. Newman will be joined by other highly-respected experts from the real estate, investment, mortgage, legal, and financial sectors including: Dan Sanders of Imperial Capital Bank, Matt Allen of North American Savings Bank, Michael F. McNair of IRA Services, Curtis Berner, Tax Expert and Northern California “Super Lawyer," Leonard Spoto of Asset Exchange Company, and Jim Hammarstrom of North American Title Company.

During "The Real Estate IRA Seminar" this powerhouse team of experts will cover a comprehensive approach to investing IRAs in real estate. The seminar will include:

• Exposing the virtually unknown IRS code that allows investment of IRA funds in profitable real estate.
• How to solve the problem of funding shortfalls of corporate pension plans via the benefits of self-directed IRAs investing in real estate.
• Why almost every IRA’s long-term performance could substantially improve with an added real estate component.
• The legal and tax ramifications of IRA real estate investing.
• How to turn a $40,000 IRA into a $350,000 Real Estate IRA, Tax Free.

"For many investors, tangible real estate in their retirement accounts provides the comfort of knowing that a wealth building asset will be there when they reach retirement,” explained Newman. "Adding a tried and true investment vehicle like real estate to a diversified stock and mutual fund portfolio just makes sense if someone truly desires to retire wealthy.”
