Thinking a Roth IRA flip means zero taxes? Not so fast. Most investors get this wrong… and the IRS has no sense of humor when they do.

In this episode, Dave and Tom Moore from IRA Advantage break down exactly what happens when you try to flip properties inside a self-directed IRA or 401K, including the rules that can blow up your entire retirement account if you cross the wrong line.

The bottom line: Self-directed IRAs are powerful tools for real estate investors, but only if you know where the lines are. This episode gives you the map.
