Self-Directed IRAIRAs are an untapped source of money for investments outside the traditional mutual funds or stocks. According to the federal government in mid-2007 there was an estimated $4.6 trillion held in IRAs. Traditionally, IRA accounts were created to provide investors a way to control where their retirement money was being invested. The major investment houses and banking institutions have lead individuals to believe their funds can only be invested in stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. A self-directed IRA empowers the individual with the ability to make investments in real estate, notes and other opportunities that have historically been out of reach. Self-directed IRA-LLC's allow individuals to take control of their financial future by investing in real estate they can see and private businesses they understand.  1. Your IRA funds are transferred to a "self-directed" custodian. 2. Custodian creates a new LLC with checkbook control of your IRA account. 3. Simply write checks for your IRA investments. The time required to empower your retirement is two to four weeks. Information provided by IRA Advantage
