Self-Directed IRA
Alternative to traditional or Roth IRAs
IRA’s run by banks and financial service firms are generally limited to the traditional stocks, bonds and mutual funds, but investors who open self-directed IRA’s can choose how their funds are invested, including the option to invest in real estate. Real estate IRA’s or private placements can help balance your retirement portfolio by diversifying your retirement investments. Simply move your existing IRA(s), Roth IRA(s) or other tax free or tax deferred savings account to a self-directed IRA or Solo(k) and take control of your financial future. While most IRA custodians restrict your investment options, some companies allow the individual investor to take advantage of the full range of IRS-permitted assets. It is only because product driven custodians have dominated the IRA industry that the public is unaware of the true retirement options. Most investors are unaware that non-stock market investments such as real estate have been allowed under IRS code since 1974.
The Pensco Trust Company works exclusively with investors using their self directed IRA to buy real estate. Please visit www.penscotrust.com for more information or contact your financial advisor or tax planner.
