Self Directed IRA Investment Analysis

One of the most exciting things I have been involved in is helping people buy investment real estate using their IRA. Most people don’t know that you can do this and also that 1st bank will finance a loan to your IRA for this purpose. With the right home you can get a good return on your initial investment, and have a tangible and secure asset. For people uncomfortable watching their portfolio go up and down based on the speculation in the stock market this is a great feeling. I have written an example of an IRA purchase below. Please note that the return in this model is just for the 1st year and it does not factor in appreciation or principle reduction.  The following is an example of a rental property purchase using a Self Directed IRA that that I sold last year:

The property was a 1423 Square Foot Bungalow with 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and an attached 1-car garage with another unattached garage. This property was move-in ready with no maintenance required. It was located in north-central Aurora, close to the new University Hospital and Children’s Hospital.

$155,00.00 Purchase Price
   $54,250.00 Down Payment (35% of Purchase Price provided by the IRA)
 _________
$ 100,750.00 New Mortgage (Made to IRA from First Bank)

This New Mortgage had a 30 year amortization and a fixed interest rate of 3.875% for the first 7 years. After the 7th year the loan may adjust up or down 1 time yearly based upon the 1 year average interest rate paid on U.S. Treasury Securities. This mortgage has a yearly maximum adjustment of 2% in any year and 5% for the life of the loan.

$ 473.76  Monthly Principal and Interest Payment
      $65.90  Monthly Property Tax Payment
      $69.09  Monthly Homeowner’s Insurance Payment
      _________
    $608.75  Total Monthly Payment

$ 54,250.00 Down Payment
    $4,457.00 Closing Costs   (includes 1st year insurance and escrow set up)
$ 58,707.00  Total Cash from IRA

$   608.75 Total Monthly Payment x 11 Months =                          $   6,696.25
$   1280.00 Monthly Rents x 10.5 Months*     =                               $13,440.00
    * 1 month vacancy + ½ month leasing fee
                                                                                                                 ___________
Total Positive Cash Flow for 1st year                                                  $  6,743.75

$6,743.25 Yearly Cash Flow with $58,707.00 invested provides a return on investment of 11.49%
*(some owners will pay the water and trash and some have the tenants pay. Assuming $100/ month for water, sewer and trash the return is 9.44%)
This return on investment does not include the $ 1,813.00 yearly mortgage reduction or any future appreciation of the property.
If $1000.00 is paid monthly toward the mortgage payment, the entire mortgage will be paid off in a little over 12 years.
Mortgage from First Bank is provided to the IRA and requires a short financial statement from the owner of the IRA. The mortgage is non-recourse to the IRA and cannot be collected from the owner of the IRA.
