Do u have any update on the status of this regulation since 2007, when u published this article? Or is the status same as it was back in 2007? Also, as u say there is nothing explicitly mentioned in IRS about this specific case/question...do u think one can claim this exemption...and debate that since nothing excludes this....it can be considered included Appreciate your response. Thnaks! Hi Nikel,

So if i understand it correctly, u used your IRA funds to invest in real estate out side USA...and this is treated same as any other stocks/MF/bonds investment that u otherwise do within your IRA account? Also, can an IRA custodian answer questions on this topic? Appreciate your response. Thnaks! Hi Andrew,

I have purchased investment real estate overseas numerous times with my self directed IRA account. This is a bit different than the readers issue, as I am not living in any of the properties, but, the IRS allows overseas real estate to be in my IRA if it is for investment purposes only (IRA is the owner of record, not me).
