This document discusses real estate investment opportunities using a self-directed IRA (SDIRA). It notes that Austin is one of the fastest growing cities in the US with high job and income growth. A case study shows how purchasing a $175,000 single family home with a SDIRA loan could generate over $15,000 in net gains in the first year from cash flow and appreciation. SDIRA loans are non-recourse, so individual investors have no personal liability. Partnering an SDIRA purchase with SDIRA private lending from sources like North American Savings Bank is described as the "perfect marriage" for real estate investment.
