Since inception, Viking has built a platform designed around one principle:
“Protect capital first. Create sustainable value second.”
These figures are supported by Viking’s current website and leadership materials.
The Tax Strategy Starts With the Investment.
Many investors build retirement portfolios primarily around traditional securities.
A self-directed retirement account can provide another option: investing retirement capital into alternative assets such as private real estate, subject to the account structure and applicable rules.
For eligible investors, this can create an opportunity to add private real estate exposure to a broader retirement strategy.
Important: Private real estate investments involve risk, including loss of principal, illiquidity, market risk, leverage risk, and no guarantee of distributions or returns.
People need housing in every economic environment.
Multifamily properties can generate rental income through professionally managed assets.
Real estate provides exposure to a tangible asset rather than solely financial securities. Real estate provides exposure to a tangible asset rather than solely financial securities.
Population growth, household formation, employment, and housing affordability can support long-term rental demand.
Private real estate may provide diversification alongside traditional investments.
How Investing Through a Self-Directed Retirement Account Works
A straightforward path from account to investment, administered by a qualified custodian at every step.
Work with a qualified custodian, such as Equity Trust, to establish or use an eligible self-directed retirement account.
The investor evaluates an eligible private real estate opportunity.
If eligible, instruct your custodian to invest retirement account funds into the selected investment.
The custodian manages the retirement account and processes investment-related transactions according to applicable rules.
As your strategy evolves, you may evaluate additional eligible alternative investments within your self-directed retirement account.
Before You Invest: What Every Retirement Real Estate Investor Should Understand
Understand the Investment
Review the offering structure, strategy, projected returns, fees, risks, and exit strategy.
Understand the Sponsor
Evaluate the sponsor’s experience, investment strategy, track record, alignment, and approach to risk.
Understand the Account
Self-directed retirement accounts have specific rules and requirements. Investors should understand how their account operates and consult their tax or financial professionals when appropriate.
Understand Liquidity
Private real estate investments are generally illiquid. Your ability to access capital may be limited for the duration of the investment.
Understand the Risks
Projected returns are not guaranteed. Real estate values, income, financing conditions, occupancy, and market conditions can change.
Think Beyond the Tax Benefits
A retirement account can provide tax advantages, but the investment itself still needs to make sense.
