invest in a Self-Directed IRa
At Localvest you have access to a variety of Investor Groups that provide excellent resources, expert guidance, and information about new investment opportunities related to your interests. Today, we’re excited to explain Self-Directed IRAs.
IRAs Explained
Individual retirement accounts (IRAs) are long-term investment and savings accounts with tax advantages designed to help individuals prepare for retirement and a post-career future. There are three types of IRAs: traditional, Roth, and self-directed. Traditional and Roth IRAs are sometimes called “regular” IRAs. Tax advantages, eligibility requirements, contribution limits, and the need for trustees and custodians apply to all IRAs.
Regular vs. Self-Directed IRAs
The difference between regular IRAs and self-directed IRAs is where your money gets invested! Traditional and Roth IRAs invest in common options, including stocks, bonds, and mutual funds whereas self-directed IRAs (SDIRAs) invest in alternative options, such as precious metals, cryptocurrency, real estate, and privately held companies.
