President Trump’s new executive order could reshape retirement savings. For the first time, 401(k) plans may allow real estate investing, along with other alternative assets like private equity and crypto.

In this episode of Real Estate News for Investors, Kathy Fettke breaks down what the rule change means for retirement savers, why real estate has been off-limits in 401(k)s until now, and what risks and opportunities could lie ahead. We’ll also cover how ERISA rules, fiduciary responsibilities, and SEC guidance play into the decision, and what investors should watch for as retirement plans evolve.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you can use a 401(k) to invest directly in real estate, this episode explains the potential changes—and why they matter for your financial future.
