Roth IRA Investments

[Christine Roberts]

Is it permissible to name a Roth IRA as a limited partner in a real estate limited partnership where no capital contribution is required?

[Gary Lesser]

It is possible (e.g., real estate limited partnerships), provided, however that the transaction is not prohibited under ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code. It be very carefull, especially when your IRA is getting something for nothing.
