Henderson, NV (PRWEB) November 3, 2007 -- Self Directed IRA LLC has implemented a website to serve a growing trend among smart and savvy individual retirement account owners... investing their retirement funds in a Self Directed IRA LLC with checkbook control and using it to purchase real estate and other non-traditional IRA investments.
The company provides a simple step by step guide to set up a self directed ira llc:
1. Form a Limited Liability Company (LLC).
2. Prepare an Operating Agreement that meets the specific requirements of a self directed ira.
3. Open an self directed ira account with, or transfer existing account to, an IRA Custodian that allows self directed investments.
4. Fund the Self Directed IRA account.
5. The Self Directed IRA account then invests in the LLC.
6. Find a suitable investment vehicle for the LLC.
7. The LLC makes the investment in the vehicle selected.
Using this simple method, an IRA can invest in real estate and other investments without the red tape and administrative fees normally involved when using an IRA to directly to make an investment.
The LLC manager effectively has check book control of the IRA investments. When there is an attractive investment opportunity available, all that needs to be done is to is write a check from the LLC to purchase the investment product in the LLC's name. There are no approvals necessary from the IRA custodian. There is no time delay awaiting approval from the custodian.
The most important step and the key ingredient is to have a properly prepared LLC Operating Agreement that meets the specific requirements of a Self Directed IRA.
If the option of using tax-deferred funds to purchase investments, property or mortgages with IRA funds sounds appealing, it will be necessary to locate an independent IRA Custodian that permits self-directed IRA investments to act as custodian.
Most banks and brokerage companies - the most common IRA account custodians - limit the choices to certificates of deposit, stocks, mutual funds, annuities, and similar financial instruments as it is their best interest to do so - they make their money from the sale of these types of investments. However, Section 408 of the Internal Revenue Code permits individuals to use a self-directed ira to purchase land, commercial property, condominiums, residential property, mortgages, trust deeds, real estate contracts or private placements and many other types of investments with funds held in many common forms of IRAs, including 401k's, a traditional IRA, a Roth IRA , and a Simplified Employee Pension Plan, or SEP-IRA. (see IRS Publication 590)
By using a Self-Directed IRA with check book control in a financial plan, individuals can determine precidely how their retirement plan and pension plan funds are invested.
