Learn how you can earn up to 18% per year with consistent monthly cash flow in
your retirement plan and grow your wealth tax free!
Take control of your retirement funds and decide where they go. With a self-directed IRA or Solo 401(k), you’re no longer restricted to mutual funds or traditional stock market investments. Choose opportunities that reflect your priorities, such as private businesses, real estate, or alternative investments, while building a portfolio that works for your unique vision of retirement.
Don’t wait until retirement to reap the rewards of your investments. With our portfolio of cash-flowing businesses and opportunities, you can start receiving monthly income now. Whether you’re retired or still building your wealth, this steady cash flow can supplement your lifestyle while your overall investment continues to appreciate.
Are you tired of watching your retirement account grow at 5% or less? Self-directed investing gives you access to high-performing, private-market opportunities that can generate consistent 18% annual returns. By bypassing the limitations of traditional brokerage accounts, you can unlock far greater growth potential for your nest egg.
Self-directed IRAs and Solo 401(k)s allow you to invest in alternative assets while enjoying substantial tax benefits. Depending on your plan type, your earnings can grow tax-deferred or even tax-free, letting you keep more of your hard-earned money and reinvest for compounding returns. It’s like having a turbocharger on your retirement savings.
Self-directed retirement plans open the door to private equity investments, allowing you to own a piece of businesses not available on public markets. Whether it’s acquiring small businesses, funding innovative startups, or diversifying through private equity funds, you gain the chance to build wealth by investing in dynamic ventures with high growth potential. These investments let you play a direct role in fostering entrepreneurship while reaping potentially significant returns.
Real estate is one of the most popular self-directed investment options, offering both income and appreciation potential. With your self-directed plan, you can directly purchase residential or commercial properties, invest in rental real estate, or participate in real estate funds. Unlike traditional investments, real estate provides physical assets, consistent cash flow from rent, and the potential for long-term capital gains—while offering substantial tax benefits.
