Advanta IRA Hosts Nationwide Webinar: Either a Lender or a Borrower Be Using A Self-Directed IRA
Tampa, Florida (PRWEB) September 30, 2015 -- When investors use a self-directed IRA, they control their own investment funds and decisions. They also gain access to a large number of alternative assets besides the traditional stock, bond or mutual fund. Private lending investments are one example of the available assets that offer diversity, which is essential to investment portfolios. Additionally, self-directed plans can borrow cash for investment purposes in the form of a non-recourse loan.
The webinar on October 6 is to be presented by Scott Maurer, director of business development for Advanta IRA Administration in Atlanta, Georgia and also of Advanta IRA Services in Largo, Florida.
Maurer will cover a variety of private lending investments. These transactions allow self-directed plans to perform the same actions a bank or other lending institution does in extending loans for mortgages, trust deeds, secured and unsecured notes, and even for things such as judgments and structured settlements. The ability of a self-directed IRA to borrow funds for investing will also be explained.
Topics to be covered include:
• Different private lending investments available and how they work in self-directed plans
• Prohibited transactions and disqualified persons
• How non-recourse loans may be obtained and the impact it has on earnings in the IRA
• The benefits and risks of these transactions
• Types of investments Advanta IRA has seen people make
"Self-directed IRAs have the ability to participate in private lending investments and also to borrow funds for investing. Our webinar offers critical knowledge about how both processes work in retirement plans," says Jack Callahan, managing partner of Advanta IRA Administration and Advanta IRA Services.
Profit from private lending is largely gained through earnings on interest rates and this income flows directly into a self-directed IRA on a tax-free or tax-deferred basis. Non-recourse loans are a way the IRA can obtain additional capital for investing, but there are benefits as well as risks regarding these transactions that every investor should be aware of.
Advanta IRA does not sell investments or give financial and investing advice. The successful self-directed IRA administrator does provide critical educational courses such as this one to teach individuals how self-direction works and the many investment possibilities allowed in these accounts.
Investors of all levels are invited and encouraged to attend this complimentary event.
This event also provides credit for professionals who are earning their self-directed IRA specialist designation by completing Advanta IRA University course curriculum.
