New data on how investors are using retirement accounts for real estate, and the numbers are striking.

We just published, The Rise of Real Estate in Retirement Accounts, based on 1,997 SDIRA real estate transactions from 2025.

66% of direct property purchases were single-family homes. Real estate notes made up more than half of all activity. And many investors are using flexible structures like partnering and non-recourse financing to put retirement capital to work.

If you have an old 401(k), brokerage IRA, or existing self-directed account, this report was built for you.
