What is a self-directed IRA?

A self-directed IRA (also known as an SDIRA) lets investors diversify in more varied kinds of investments. Similar to a traditional or Roth IRA (in which your custodian, the institution that keeps records and reports to the IRS etc.) – a self-directed IRA lets you invest in a wide range of investment options in your retirement account.

How to get started with a self-directed IRA

  1. Find a reputable IRA custodian that has experience in the areas you wish to invest in.
  2. Set up a limited liability company (LLC) to hold your assets and protect you against lawsuits.
  3. Get to grips with the rules and regulations of your LLC to abide by them so that you avoid financial penalties.

That’s all you need to get started with a self-directed IRA.

What are the types of investments you can utilize with a self-directed IRA?

Self-directed IRAs give you the option to invest in an array of options: precious metals, undeveloped land, real estate, investing in a business – you have total freedom to invest in your financial stability as you enjoy the end of your career. This is why self-directed IRAs have become so popular. People want more freedom to invest.

What is an IRA custodian, and their role in your investing?

A custodian is a specialized financial institution that exists to hold and protect customers’ securities and assets from loss or theft. Choosing a reputable self-directed IRA custodian is an important step.

Once you’ve set up a self-directed IRA, you’ll need to measure the value of your investments at the end of each year so that you can report the numbers to your custodian. Your custodian will also provide advice. BUT… we want you to feel in total control of your financial future. Our team can get you fully set up and confident to navigate your investment journey. So you won’t need to rely solely on your custodian for guidance.

Why you should establish an LLC when investing in an IRA

Establishing a limited liability company is an essential step as it protects you from the many different types of lawsuits that can occur on your property (slips, trips, falls, etc.). These things happen, so a limited liability company protects you against potential legal action.

Once you have a custodian and you have an LLC company setup – you’re ready to buy, sell, and flip properties. Just remember: you need to pay back all of that income you’ve made into your self-generated IRA. Ignoring the rules and regulations will likely result in financial penalties.

The rules and regulations for self-directed IRAs are easy to follow, so make sure you’ve read and fully understood them before you start. Try not to let fear get the better of you. Trust us, the benefits of self-directed IRAs far outweigh the risks!

What is the value of a self-directed IRA?

In addition to flexibility, retirement savers find self-directed IRAs are a great tool as they’re a safe option for those entering real estate investment for the first time. Why? Because the money that you spent on properties isn’t money you live on. Instead, you simply draw it from your retirement account. You’ll depend on these funds but view them as a solid foundation to build upon as you explore your options while enjoying the tax benefits.

This is where self-directed IRAs get really exciting. Like any other investment in your IRA, your income is tax-deferred until you withdraw. That’s true unless your holdings are in a Roth self-directed IRA; in this case – you won’t need to worry about taxes! You’ll just wait until you withdraw funds to avoid the early withdrawal penalties. The self-directed IRA rules are fairly simple to follow; the amazing benefits are within your reach.

Plus, self-directed IRAs get even better: if you have a tenant in that property, the cash flow becomes tax-free when you retire at 59 and a half years young.

How to take advantage of diversification in your IRA

Another reason why self-directed IRAs are so powerful and popular is because they offer greater portfolio diversification options that the alternatives don’t. So if you’ve felt restricted when exploring your investment options in the past, a self-directed IRA could give you the freedom you want.

What’s the difference between a small traditional broker’s self-directed account and one that lets you invest in real estate? Most IRA custodians and banks will only approve conventional investments. So if you were to ask them if you can invest in real estate or a self-directed IRA – they might say yes but only for real investment stocks or REITs.

You could approach Fidelity with a well-thought-out plan saying that you’d like to invest in a few properties that’ll create a strong cash flow of “X” a month, and you’re ready to get started ASAP. But… they will turn you down. That’s the difference.

So if you want to join the retirement savers enjoying greater control of their financial future, find a trusted institution that provides self-directed IRAs. And research to find an institution that has proven experience in your chosen fields of investments.
