Advanta IRA Services Hosts Lunch and Learn Designed to Educate Investors on the Pros and Cons of Self-Directed IRAs
Largo, FL (PRWEB) December 01, 2013 -- As knowledge of self-directed IRAs grows, investors are learning these investment tools can potentially build wealth towards retirement at a faster pace than the traditional stock, bond or mutual fund. The most attractive aspect of a self-directed IRA is that owners are able to invest in what they know, understand, and can control. “Alternative investments including real estate, rental properties, LLCs, precious metals, futures and foreign exchange, private placements—and much more—are popular investments in self-directed IRAs,” says Jack Callahan, Managing Partner of Advanta IRA Services, in Largo, Florida. In fact, the only items not allowed as assets as determined by the IRS are collectibles and life insurance policies.
“As simple as it sounds, there are critical regulations that govern self-directed retirement plans and if these rules are not followed, the consequences can be disastrous,” says Callahan. Not following these rules can result in heavy penalties or even disqualification of the retirement account in question.
While Advanta IRA Services does not provide investment advice, the company—a widely known self-directed IRA administrator—offers a vast educational curriculum to clients and other investors designed to teach these individuals about the benefits of self-directed retirement accounts.
On December, 2013, Advanta IRA Services is hosting 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. Events like this one are offered by Advanta IRA and are designed to provide investors with knowledge that helps investors understand the potential of success and also the ramifications of failing to follow the rules when utilizing self-directed IRAs.
