JRLA Monthly Meetup🏡 Real Estate Investment Strategies Using Retirement Accounts

📅 JRLA Monthly Meeting – Thursday, Aug 21 at 6:30 PM
📍 Corrigan’s in Shorewood

This month we’ve got Ed Thelen from 79th Ave Lending sharing how you can use your retirement accounts (like a Roth IRA or Solo 401k) to invest in real estate. Whether you’re new to self-directed accounts or looking for fresh strategies, Ed’s bringing the real-world tips that can help you put your retirement dollars to work.

Ed Thelen is a resource and advocate for self-directed retirement strategies, helping others understand how to use accounts like SDIRAs and Solo 401(k)s to invest beyond Wall Street. He shares practical guidance on how to set up and use these accounts to invest in real estate, private lending, and other alternatives. With years of experience funding deals using his own retirement capital, Ed brings a real-world perspective rooted in compliance, clarity, and long-term cash flow. His approach is especially helpful for those looking to take control of their retirement dollars while keeping risk in check. His guiding principle: Seek first to help or provide value — the success of your brand and business is sure to follow.

Hope to see you there! 😀
