What are Self-Directed IRA’s?

Self-Directed IRA’s (Individual Retirement Accounts) are accounts that allow you to invest in alternative assets like real estate or small businesses. Unlike your typical 401(k) or Roth IRA, these Self-Directed IRA’s require a qualified custodian to process transactions, hold the assets, and keep records for the IRS. The types of assets that individuals can invest in vary from custodian to custodian in addition to being governed by the IRS, so its important to understand what you want as an investor in making the decision to set up a Self-Directed IRA and in choosing a qualified trustee.
