There are over 45 million IRA owners in the US and less than 4% of them know or utilize the ability to self-direct their IRA account! With a self-directed IRA (SDI), you may invest in ANY investment you choose, including real estate, loans secured or unsecured by real estate, and business opportunities. Real estate offers a variety of investment vehicles with multiple avenues for growth in your IRA. The success of your retirement savings does not have to rely on others or solely on the stock market. Take control and take action!

You may be asking yourself, if this is legal, why do only 4% of IRA owners know about it? Banks and brokerage houses created a misconception that your retirement funds were limited to stocks, bonds and mutual funds. Each of those investment vehicles create a commission for the broker/seller. Real estate investments do not offer these brokers a commission, and as such, they are not offered due to the self-interest involved. In 1974, ERISA (Employer Retirement Income Security Act) states that you may invest your retirement funds in any vehicle you choose, excluding life insurance policies and collectibles. Do not take my word for it, do your due diligence. Use the internet and “Google” ERISA. You may also reference the IRS website at www.irs.gov. There you will find publication 590 which states that this IS a legal option for your retirement funds. It also gives additional instructions and examples on the rules and guidelines set forth by the IRS to ensure that your IRA funds are protected and that investments exclusively benefit the IRA.
