Best Self Directed IRA trust companies?
I am looking to do a self directed IRA, i was thinking of using
the "Equity trust Company" www.trustetc.com.
Their fees seem reasonable, the service seems capable, and they
are out of Ohio which is not a hotbed of fraud unlike Florida and Nevada.
Pluses: They were recommended to me. They are a family owned private business. They have been in business for a while
Negatives: They are small $64MM assets, their CPA is a one horse shop.
As I am trusting my IRA to them, I wanted opinions. My IRA was at Merrill, and they exploded, so the big guys aren't safe.
Madoff was a family enterprise also.
So what do you all think?
