Self-Directed IRA: Earn More For Your Retirement

Jim Cramer, the historically bullish host of CNBC's "Mad Money" program, recently warned investors to take whatever money they need for the next five years out of the market now and referred to this as "the most horrible market that I've ever seen." Despite the historical warnings, Americans have trusted their precious retirement money with Fund Managers who continue to lose Investors' money in a highly overpriced stock market.
 
Today, savvy Investors must take responsibility for our own retirement and make better investments. It is time to secure your financial future with the freedom to make your own choices with your retirement plans. A self-directed retirement account gives you the ability to invest in more than stocks, bonds, or mutual funds. Under your direction, your Self-Directed IRA can buy: 
  • Real Estate
  • Secured and unsecured notes
  • Mortgages
  • Limited partnerships
  • Commercial paper

Rolling over your exsisting IRA into a self-directed IRA (SD-IRA) is an important planning tool that can be used to take advantage of the income producing opportunities that  outperform the current stock market. 

  Setting up a self-directed IRA is relatively simple:
  • SD-IRAs must be administered through a third party custodial firm.
  • Once the account has been established, the investor has the option of moving funds into it from other IRAs, a 401(k), and similar plans, or essentially starting from scratch.
  • Like traditional IRA's, the SD-IRAs allow taxes held on assets held inside the IRA account to be deferred or postponed until the money is drawn from the account.
