Lunch and Learn with Advanta IRA: LLCs and Trusts — How They Work in a Self-Directed IRA
Largo, FL (PRWEB) June 12, 2014 -- Self-directed IRAs give account owners total control in choosing their own assets to build retirement income on a tax-free or tax-deferred basis. Typically, the alternative investment is held directly in the name of the IRA. However, the IRA is also allowed to hold a private placement—such as an LLC, LLP, or trust—which, in turn, invests in the desired assets.
As investors become more familiar with self-direction, they are learning the different ways to utilize these accounts. “Many investors hold private placements in the form of an LLC or a trust as assets in their IRAs and these entities acquire investments that can help build income for retirement within the account,” says Jack Callahan, managing partner of Advanta IRA Services in Florida.
While these transactions are not restricted to more sophisticated investors (though depending on the types of assets an investor desires—they may be) the details involved can certainly a bit more intricate than the average acquisition of real estate in an IRA. With this in mind, Advanta IRA is holding this event tailored for investors of all levels to learn how to use their self-directed IRAs in this manner.
“Our clients choose to use self-directed IRAs because they like being in control of choosing their own assets, based on their own knowledge of different alternative investments, and having the freedom to make these investments at a pace they are comfortable with,” says Callahan. LLCs, LLPs and trusts are simply another investment strategy that may work well for someone who fully understands how they work in an IRA. The alternative investment pool is quite large and includes real estate, notes and mortgages, precious metals, tax liens and certificates, foreign exchange and even timber rights and options contracts and much more.
As an experienced and successful self-directed IRA administrator, Advanta IRA neither sells investments nor provides investment advice. What Advanta IRA does do is provide educational curriculum at no cost for investors who want to learn about self-directed IRAs and how to use them to build wealth towards retirement.
