How are self directed IRA custodians different from each other?

The government allows certain institutions to handle the accounting and reporting of IRAs. Under the law, all custodians can allow you to invest your IRA in the same types of investments (stocks, bonds, mutual funds, real estate, notes, tax liens, etc.). However, the majority of custodians have made the decision to restrict the types of investments you can make.

This is not based upon law, but it is based upon what the custodian wants to offer. However, there are a handful of custodians who allow non-traditional investments. Please contact us for a special report on self-directed custodians.

Can I invest my IRA in real estate? Absolutely! Currently less than 3% of retirement accounts are invested in non-traditional investments (anything other than Dow & Nasdaq stocks, bonds, CDs, etc), and less than 2% are invested in real estate, that is changing.

More and more individuals are becoming more and more frustrated with the options offered by their current custodians. Individuals are ... more.
