A real estate IRA (retirement account) is another name for a Self-Directed IRA which allows the owner to invest in just about anything that is not Insurance or Collectibles.
Most Americans are familiar with IRAs, however, they think, of their brokerage firm or bank as administrating their account. Few Americans are aware that you can have full control of the investment direction in your IRA. Since the creation of IRAs, the IRS has only stipulated what your IRA money can NOT invest in.
Placing real estate inside the IRA affords the owner all the benefits that come with IRA ownership - from tax-deferral to even tax-free benefits (if its a Real Estate ROTH IRA).
