Advanta IRA Warns Investors: As Self-Directed Retirement Accounts Become More Popular, Know the Limits as Well as the Possibilities
Largo, Florida (PRWEB) September 16, 2013 -- On September 20, 2013, Advanta IRA Services in Largo, Florida, is offering a lunch and learn at no cost to clients and other investors that will cover the top ten things to do and not to do regarding self-directed retirement accounts.
"Self-directed IRAs and other accounts can potentially build wealth towards retirement at a faster pace than more traditional methods may," says Jack Callahan, Managing Partner of Advanta IRA Services. Traditional investments are things such as stocks, bonds and mutual funds. Alternative investments include real estate, rental properties, notes, mortgages, precious metals, futures and foreign exchange, LLCs, private placements and much more. In fact, the only items not allowed as assets as determined by the IRS are collectibles and life insurance policies.
According to Callahan, even though self-directed accounts offer investors a broad amount of control over their own investments, "Investors must have a working knowledge of benefits and restrictions of self-directed retirement plans in order invest successfully." Events offered by Advanta IRA are designed to provide investors with that knowledge which helps investors understand the potential of success and also the ramifications of failing to follow the rules when utilizing self-directed retirement accounts.
Investors in the Tampa Bay area who are interested in self-directed retirement accounts should not miss this event.
