Did you know your retirement account can act like a bank?

With a Self-Directed IRA, you can become a private lender and fund real estate deals while your profits grow tax-deferred or tax-free.

How it works:

• Your self-directed IRA lends money to a real estate fund or investor
• The loan is security by real property
• You earn interest which is paid back directly to your IRA
• No stock market volatility and no landlord headaches


Why investors love it:
• Predictable returns
• Asset-backed security
• Control over where your retirement money goes
• Passive income inside your IRA

NOTE: You can’t lend to yourself or certain family members; but when done correctly, this strategy can be powerful.

Curious if this fits your retirement strategy? Let’s talk.
