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. 

Why Invest in a Self-Directed IRA?

Investment options for self-directed IRAs are almost as varied as our Investor Groups on Localvest! That’s what makes them unique. Here are a few key benefits of investing in a self-directed IRA:

  • Freedom

    Choose investment options related to your personal and professional interests, knowledge, and experience

  • Diversification

    Choose from a greater variety of investment options, including real estate and privately held companies

  • Satisfaction

    Earn higher returns and invest in what matters to you
