Do Real Estate IRAs Offer Diversification Against Stock Market Troubles?

Relying on the stock market in the short term can be full of volatility and worry for retirement investors. A recent post at American IRA asks whether Real Estate IRAs may be the answer for stock volatility diversification.

"Diversification" can mean different things to different investors, particularly in relation to the stock market. While some investors view diversification as a strategy for making investments in different types of funds and stocks, the experts at American IRA take a different approach. In a recent blog post at the site, American IRA explained true "diversification" can mean spreading money across different asset classes, expanding beyond stocks and bonds and into investments like private property, precious metals, and real estate.

Recent performance in the stock market has only highlighted the need to diversify. Although the Dow Jones Industrial Average had been setting new standards for its all-time records, the volatility present in the stock market this year has many investors approaching retirement age worried about how their investments will perform as they continue their path toward retirement. Even one down year can have a tremendously negative effect on the total value of a nest egg.

The recent post at American IRA pointed out that while the stock worries are global, Real Estate IRAs may be entering a golden age. "Over the past 12 months, all regions in the U.S. were up," notes the post, pointing out that in specific areas, home values have seen double-digit increases in price. This not only yields higher resale value for rental homes owned within a Real Estate IRA, but it also leads to more consistent income for those acquiring investment real estate. This strategy of supplementing primary income with rental income from real estate is a tremendous way to diversify out of the stock market.

"People need to know there are other options out there," said Jim Hitt, CEO of American IRA. "There is not just one way to build wealth for retirement. Diversifying out of the stock market can open a myriad of possibilities for both new retirement investors and seasoned stock investors. That diversification also leads to a greater sense of financial peace, even if the stock market were to take a sudden tumble."
