Self-directed IRAs allow you to invest in rental properties, single- and multi-family homes, commercial and international property, mortgage notes, and real estate investment trusts (REITs) tax-free.

Invest in privately held companies.

These investment options include startups, hedge funds, private placements in private equity, or private stock that is not sold in the open, public market.

Gain direct access to your IRA funds with checkbook control.

Buy assets even faster. When you establish a self-directed IRA LLC, you gain direct access to your IRA funds via your IRA-owned checking account.

Lend or extend credit.

With a self-directed IRA, you can lend credit to individuals and companies, as well as buy notes from brokers or private parties secured by collateral.

Diversify your account further.

Protect your accounts from volatile markets. Self-directed IRAs allow you to invest in numerous alternative assets not offered or allowed by banks and brokerage firms that typically offer stocks, bonds, and mutual funds.

With a self directed IRA you have a world of investment options and the investment decisions are yours to make. A truly self directed IRA custodian will not provide investment advice or promote investments, choose wisely.

They treat my investment account like it is as important to them as it is to me, and that any question I have deserves an answer.

Whenever we have a question or need something, Liane is just a phone call or email away and happy to help. It’s nice to not have to wade through a computerized phone system or be put on hold by clericals that don’t know what you’re talking about.

We have spent the last 33 years planning and saving for our retirement and we are on our way to building a passive income stream and would highly recommend to anyone IRA Resources as their IRA custodian.

– Bob B.

“

As an active investor, many of my transactions have been real estate note purchases and sales, and quite often very time-sensitive in nature, so it has been important for me to have a company that is easy to work with and can execute direction letters quickly and predictably.

– James M.

“

The people at IRA Resources are always friendly, quick to respond, and constantly monitoring my actions to make sure I adhere to IRA and tax regulations. I consider them trusted allies and an integral part of my financial future.

– Hal C.

“

After decades of holding traditional investments like mutual funds and stock in my retirement account, I decided to diversify and invest with a real estate IRA. I made my first self directed IRA investment with the help of IRAR. Their service was excellent and timely. I'm going to have my son do the same with his Roth IRA. Thank you IRAR for allowing more investment choices.
