Retirement accts or Equipment?

[1st choice restoration]

Been looking at some SEP retirement accts and have been thinking I can get a way better return on getting more wdr equipment.....I get the tax advantages both ways... Good equipment holds decent value.... Any thoughts on this subject??? Thanks

I am more comfortable with a retirement account

If you can can use the equipment and not just buy it to sit on it, the your dividend will be greater with the equipment.

BUT if you just buy the equipment for a write off and not use it to produce cash flow then just get a retirement account.

Like Michael said buy it if you need it if you don't use the SEP.

Of course a small service business is going to produce better return then a fortune 500 company. BUT its also a whole lot riskier too!

Personal question but i like to hedge my bets a little and put a % every year into retirement.

ALWAYS fund your SEP to the max. Roth IRA's standard IRA. Equipment depreciates - usually your portfolio wont.
Once you've maxed out THEN buy the equipment you need.
Just my two cents
