Background on the Self-Directed IRA
The fact is that a wide variety of IRA investment options have been available since 1975, the year contributions could first be made to IRAs. As addressed in Internal Revenue Code section 4975, there are a few types of investments that are prohibited, but otherwise, you have a world of choices. You can invest in assets like Real Estate, Precious Metals, Private Placements, LLC's and much more.

Historically, the retirement industry has been dominated by custodians who are focused on a narrow spectrum of IRA investments, limiting you to stocks, bonds, CDs, and other traditional investments. While these kinds of retirement accounts might be right for some, they don't offer the investment freedom of a self-directed IRA.

Attending the Alternative Retirement Investments group, you will find out about the vast array of self-directed plans and investment types available for your IRA.
