Include Real Estate in your Retirement Portfolio

Here is a good article that talks about adding real estate to your retirement portfolio.

I couldn't agree more. Everyone always talks about diversifying, why not include rental properties or second homes in your plans?

BTW, did you know that you can use funds from a qualified IRA or 401k to invest in real estate?
This can be done without fees and with the same tax shelters given to securities investments.
