Day 78: Using Your 401k to Buy Self Storage

Описание: Have money sitting in a 401(k) but feel stuck?

In Day 78 of the Storage 100 series, Joe Downs breaks down how to legally use your retirement funds to buy self-storage through the ROBS strategy, without paying early withdrawal penalties or taxes.

Joe explains what ROBS (Rollover for Business Startups) actually is, how the structure works, and why it requires forming a C-Corporation. He walks through the step-by-step mechanics: creating a C-Corp, setting up a new 401(k) plan, rolling over funds tax-free, and having the plan purchase stock in the company.

You'll learn the benefits of debt-free funding, why there are no loan payments, how you can pay yourself a salary as an active employee, and how growth remains tax-deferred inside your retirement plan.

Joe also covers the strict rules you must follow, including being an active operator, offering the plan to eligible employees, and maintaining ongoing IRS compliance. He explains the real costs of setup and administration — and why this is not a DIY strategy.

This is not a loan.
It is an equity investment.
