Editorial Reviews

Review

"A must-read . . . [about how]. . . real estate products . . . generate tax-free or tax-deferred wealth . . . particularly thought-provoking as an alternative to stock investments." -- Empire Magazine, September 2003

"Real estate has become an increasingly important way to diversify retirement-plan holdings; [Rice]. . . offers real estate as an investment option." -- The Wall Street Journal, “Building Value” column, July 23, 2003

Product Description

For decades, banks and brokerage houses have effectively convinced us that IRA holdings can be invested only in stocks and CDs. Then, with the sharp decline in the stock market, most of us could only stand by and watch as our retirement savings lost their accumulated value. Few knew that there was an alternative which offered both safety and growth. That alternative is real estate. That’s right. Contrary to what you may have believed, it is perfectly legal to hold real estate investments in an IRA account—and to enjoy unprecedented returns. For nearly twenty years, IRA investment expert Patrick W. Rice has taught thousands of men and women his revolutionary strategies for using an IRA to create wealth based on real estate. In his new book, Mr. Rice shares all his moneymaking strategies with you. Within the pages of IRA Wealth, you will learn how to:

• Turn your old IRA into a self-directed account that puts you in charge.

• Buy income-producing properties, from rental houses to commercial buildings.

• Purchase high-yielding real estate-backed notes.

• Buy your dream retirement home now.

• Loan money to family and friends while building your IRA.

• Form limited liability companies that multiply your investment power.

• Buy yourself a thriving business—or a great job.

• Reduce your risks while boosting your returns.

Although it may be a little late to avoid the volatility of the stock market, the lesson has been simple: Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. IRA Wealth offers an entirely new basket—one that holds golden eggs for a bright and rewarding future.

4.0 out of 5 stars Opened my mind to new ideas, December 4, 2003
By "militarybyowner" (Stafford, VA United States) - See all my reviews
IRA Wealth provides a series of alternatives to the traditional IRA Stock Market investment opportunities. The book is organized to first dispel the myth that investing in real estate with your IRA is illegal and second to explain how to structure your IRA investments with a "self-directed" IRA. The following chapters identify IRA real estate investments based on the level of risk associated with that particular type of real estate investment. The final chapters discuss some of the nuances of liquidating your real estate investments upon the time of your mandatory IRA distributions. Finally, IRA Wealth provides several appendices to help you start your own due diligence with regard to IRA investing in real estate.
Overall, I enjoyed reading IRA Wealth and found that it opened my mind to new ideas on IRA investments. Most of us have probably felt the sting of lackluster stock market returns during the past few years. So the prospect of low to moderate risk real estate investments is clearly of interest. I found the organization of the book to be well thought-out and comprehensive. If you have already read several books on real estate investing, you will realize that several investment methods continue to pop-up. IRA Wealth takes those methods and ties them to your IRA.
Regardless of your level of experience with regard to real estate investing, I believe you will find IRA Wealth a worthwhile read and well worth your time.

3.0 out of 5 stars Simple, maybe too much so., November 6, 2004
Very basic guide to IRA conversion/self-directed IRAs. Probably helpful to a novice, especially someone nervous about taking control of their own fund. For someone who is an experienced real estate investor, used to considering (eg) tax consequences, depreciation issues, leverage issues, etc., not very helpful at all. I was especially disappointed that there was not more specific information about what was actually necessary to convert 401Ks to self directed funds, and more analysis of what to look for in a fund administrator.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not Worth Reading, April 14, 2004
By A Customer
I first hear about alternative IRA investments through a real estate class I took to become a broker. I picked up this book because I wanted to learn more about the subject. As I have read extensively in the subject of investments, the fact that I didn't learn much from this book doesn't necessary mean it's not a good read for some people.

My problem with this book is that it holds real estate investments in IRA (specifically Roth IRA) out to be one-size fits all solution to retirement riches for everyone. It claims a minimum 12% annual return with zero chance of going wrong. It claims RE IRAs has a lower cost (including fees to trustee, financial advisor, attorney, accountant, and real estate broker) compared to brokerage IRAs which supposedly cost 3-6% a year. As with all comparison the author makes in this book, real estate IRA is better in all respects to everything else.

Most Americans have high percentage of their net worth tied up in their residence; does it make sense from a diversification point of view to put their IRA in real estate as well? Is a loan to someone who couldn't get a loan from the banks really an investment with zero chance of going wrong?

The author claims to have many years of experience, which I wish could have translated to more examples of what could go wrong so the reader can learn from others' mistakes. I learn absolutely nothing from scenarios after scenarios of perfectly constructed examples that produces double or triple digit returns.

There are several calculation errors and mistaken use of financial terms but in general the book is easy to read. My favorite quote from the book, which comes after a paragraph describing which relatives are not prohibited from transacting with your IRA: "For some of you, this information alone is worth the price of this book."

I think I will be going back to my local book store.
