Growth Projections

Tax-free compounding and long-term wealth modeling for IRA-held real estate.

How Growth Projections Work

The projection engine models year-by-year account growth including property appreciation, rental income accumulation, expense growth, loan amortization, and UBIT payments. It calculates your total IRA account value at each year -- combining property equity, cumulative net cash flow, and ongoing contributions. A parallel projection models the same property held personally (outside an IRA) with income taxes, capital gains, and depreciation recapture to show the true tax-advantaged difference.

  • Year-by-year property value with configurable appreciation rate
  • Rental income grows annually with rent and expense growth rates
  • Loan amortization reduces UBIT exposure over time
  • Side-by-side IRA vs. personal ownership comparison

The Power of Tax-Advantaged Compounding

Real estate inside a Roth IRA grows completely tax-free -- no income tax on cash flow, no capital gains on sale, and no RMDs forcing distributions. Even in a Traditional IRA, growth is tax-deferred, meaning all cash flow and appreciation compounds without annual tax drag. Over 20-30 years, this compounding advantage can result in hundreds of thousands of dollars more wealth compared to holding the same property personally. The projection charts make this difference viscerally clear.

  • Roth IRA: $0 tax on decades of rental income and appreciation
  • Traditional IRA: Tax-deferred growth (taxed only on withdrawal)
  • Personal ownership: Annual income tax + capital gains + depreciation recapture
  • Compounding advantage grows exponentially over longer time horizons
