Buying Real Estate in Your IRA: Good Idea, or Bad?- Season 6: Episode 5
Maybe you’ve noticed that real estate prices have been soaring over the past year or so. And with the stock market gains we’ve experienced over that same period of time, you may have also seen a similar increase in the balances of your existing IRAs.
