Partnering<\/strong><\/p>\nWith syndications, the investor may not know the other investors, but what if you want to create your own partnership with your IRA as one of the investors? Domestically in the US, a tenancy in common titling is often used for real estate purchased with two or more investors. As the investor group grows, an LLC may be the chosen entity, with the IRA owning a certain number of shares or percentage of the LLC.<\/p>\n
Overseas, partnering may be best accomplished through establishing a single-member LLC just for your IRA. Normally written by an attorney, these structures may afford the IRA holder access to an IRA-owned checking account, and the funds would be administered by the LLC manager named in the operating agreement. These arrangements, often known as \u201ccheckbook-control\u201d IRAs, require a self-directed IRA administrator that can serve as custodian for the LLC ownership documents.<\/p>\n
Investment Decisions<\/strong><\/p>\nSelf-directed IRAs are a viable choice for those who wish to invest and potentially live overseas. While your Wall Street-based advisor may not offer you a rental condo in Panama or timberland in Nicaragua, both may be great options within your IRA. Many advisors are likely not aware of the opportunities overseas, so seek the counsel of experienced investors who understand the risks and rewards of your potential purchase.<\/p>\n
Once you decide on your investment, find a self-directed IRA administrator and custodian who is experienced in handling overseas transactions. This will avoid the headache of delays and confusion in getting your transaction closed and revenues returning to your IRA.<\/p>\n
