You can use your IRA or 401K to invest with as long as it is self-directed and you are the custodian of it. You will start by calling the group your IRA or 401K is with and telling them you would like to self-direct as a custodian and that you would like to invest into real estate. We will handle it from there.
You will get a K-1 as a partner in the real estate to file with your personal tax return. This gives you all of the advantages of being a partner in the real estate. Our goal is to finalize all K-1s by March 31st, however, we do rely on outside reporting and may require additional time to furnish the forms in a way that is to the investor’s best advantage. Accordingly, you may be required to obtain one or more extensions for filing federal, state and local tax returns.

Equity With Purpose goes into most investments planning to hold them for 5-10 years. Each investment is unique. Depending on many different factors and conditions, Equity With Purpose will do what is best for the individual investment.
Absolutely. Equity With Purpose is normally the largest investor on every deal we buy. We buy properties because we want to add them to our personal portfolio. Once we identify properties we want to own ourselves, we then offer them to investors so they can share in the benefits of the deal.
Equity With Purpose is responsible for the debt. No investors will ever have to sign on debt.
You should expect your first distribution after the first full quarter of the investment. We pay cash flow distributions quarterly.
As with any investment, there are always risks. It is important to always do your own due diligence to ensure any investment is a good fit for you. Equity With Purpose spends considerable time underwriting and evaluating every deal we go after. We will always do everything we can to mitigate risk. All real estate investing is speculative in nature.
