Account Update: September 2007 ROTH Self Directed IRA »

Where are all the Self Directed IRA Custodians ?????

So now you’ve read some of my Blog and see that I’m currently investing in Real Estate Notes in my Self Directed IRA and have cash flow coming in every month. 

Now your ready to open up your own Self Directed IRA to start your own investing program.  If you have an IRA already but it’s not Self Directed you can roll that over into a SDIRA if you like, or just open up a new one and try it out.   Just be aware of how much you contribute to make sure that your not going over the allowed limit for the year.  Also be aware of taxable events for example, if you roll over a traditional IRA into a Roth.  I would also take a little time to look at what each custodian offers to make the best choice for you.     

Until a few years ago there were just a few choices but today there are quite a few.  Here’s a list of the Self Directed IRA Custodians that I know of.   *****I’m merely listing them on my blog not advertising for anyone in particular or getting anything for it*****.

  6. Viking Bank  a local bank for those of you in Seattle, WA.

The above list is certainly not all the SDIRA Custodians, just the ones I know about. Use Google to possibly find more.   All of their websites are quite complete with specific information about how to use their services.   Equity Trust is the only one I know of that has a blog as well.

 I hope this helps those wanting to get started but not sure where to start.

 Will

    I found that the advisors at Asset Exchange Group are very helpful. I would recommend them to anyone switching to a self directed IRA.
