American IRA Discusses the Advantages of Self-Directed IRA Investing
For investors who already know what an IRA is, what is the advantage of Self-Directed IRA investing? A recent post at American IRA explored this very topic with some interesting answers.
ASHEVILLE, N.C., April 29, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Many people are already familiar with the traditional concept of investing: put money away in a retirement account, hold it for a long time, and enjoy cumulative returns along the way. But a recent post at the American IRA blog highlighted how a Self-Directed IRA can have a number of advantages over the Traditional IRA that most people are not aware of.
These advantages, according to the post, often come in the freedom that a Self-Directed IRA allows. Said the post: "A Self-Directed IRA lets you hold any of the above conventional retirement account asset classes, if you choose, but also lets you add a variety of alternative asset classes to your retirement portfolio." Those options include owning real estate, tax liens and certificates, gold coins and bullion, farms and ranches, LLCs, private equity, mortgage notes and even private lending. That broad range of asset classes means that investors with unique skills in these areas can leverage their existing IRA funds, when Self-Directing, and put them towards more productive investments.
These investments have the added benefit of diversifying one's portfolio. Said Jim Hitt, CEO of American IRA: "There's a concept most people are familiar with in retirement investing. Buy a fund, let the fund sit there, and that's it. But there's so much more that people can do while holding on to the tax advantages of a retirement account. They can expand their horizons. They can diversify their portfolio. They can realize massive growth when their real estate increases in value. There are really more options than there are limits, though both are important."
The article went on to address how the tax advantages of Self-Directed IRAs include their specific account types. There are, for example, Self-Directed Solo 401(k) plans, Self-Directed SEP-IRA plans, Self-Directed SIMPLE IRA plans and more.
