How to Avoid UDFI Taxes when Investing in Real Estate with your IRA

The ability to invest in real estate using your retirement money is called self-directed investing.  There is, however, a tax trap associated with self-directed IRA investing. Some of you may have heard of the term Unrelated Debt Financed Income Tax (UDFI). Essentially, this is a tax imposed in certain instances when you self-direct your retirement funds into real estate and use leverage at the same time. For example, if you purchase real estate using your self-directed IRA with 50% debt and earn $50,000 of income, that income is generally subject to the UDFI tax of 35% resulting in a tax bill of close to $9,000 for the year.
