Why Self-Directed Investing?

Freedom: Invest in Opportunities That Align with Your Goals and Values

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.

Consistent Cash Flow: Enjoy Monthly Payments While Your Portfolio Grows

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.

Higher Returns: Earn 18% Annually—Far Beyond What Traditional Mutual Funds Offer

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.

Tax Advantages: Maximize Growth with Tax-Free or Tax-Deferred Investing

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.

What Can I Invest in With My Self-Directed Retirement Plan?

Private Equity

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

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.

PRIVATE DEBT & CREDIT

Your self-directed retirement account allows you to step into the role of a lender, providing loans to individuals or businesses in exchange for interest payments. This includes financing opportunities like real estate development loans, small business loans, or even peer-to-peer lending. By investing in private debt, you create a predictable income stream and diversify your portfolio with secured, interest-yielding assets.

CRYPTOCURRENCY

Cryptocurrency offers a unique opportunity to diversify into digital assets that could yield substantial growth. With a self-directed plan, you can invest in established cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum or explore emerging blockchain projects. As this innovative asset class gains traction, it presents the potential for significant returns, allowing you to stay ahead of financial trends while building your retirement wealth.

My money was barely earning 4% per year because my company's plan was terrible. When I switched to a self directed plan with Jeff, we started earning over 12% by choosing what to invest in. I'm so happy!
