With the markets twitching whenever the Federal Reserve raises its regulatory hand, diversifying your individual retirement account (IRA) with asset-back securities seems more important than ever.
If your risk profile can handle more aggressive investments, you should look into RealtyMogul, a commercial real estate platform with an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau that has an average internal rate of return (IRR) of 20.7%.
Generally, a 10% IRR on a house you bought as an investment would have realtors tipping their hats to you. So how did RealtyMogul double that rate for its investors? It boils down to years of experience and access to information. The company has a plethora of resources at hand that have only been available to the world’s wealthiest until recently. Now it is providing access to the benefits of those resources to retail investors.
For example, before adding a new property, RealtyMogul uses state-of-the-art technology to scour various markets and eliminate everything but the most promising deals. Industry experts are consulted before the company goes through with the acquisition. Add a national presence to that, and the chances of scoring above-average returns on a project go way up.

The relationships the company has built over the years also come into play. Suppose a partner has successfully built a multifamily unit that’s being leased for above-market rates. In that case, it’s probably a good idea to lock in more of its projects, and RealtyMogul does everything it can to do so.
As transparency is one of the company’s core values, the staff goes the extra mile to provide access to as much information as you need to make decisions. After providing their email addresses, investors can directly ask the partner questions about the project during a live webinar, read extensive documents about the property or talk to a RealtyMogul representative.
Since its inception in 2012, at least 274,000 investors have joined the platform and invested over $1 billion.
“Been extremely happy with the platform and the consistent returns! Plan to invest through my retirement accounts as well in 2023,” investor John wrote in a Google review.
If you want to invest in individual properties, you can do that through your checkbook-controlled IRA, but you can invest in RealtyMogul’s real estate investment trusts with a self-directed IRA.
