A self directed checkbook IRA allows you to have checkbook writing privileges of your IRA retirement account.

If you’re a seasoned real estate investor, you know just how fast expenses can add up on a piece of property. A few trips to your local Lowes home improvement store, a number of calls to your contractor or a simple mistake made by an inexperienced handyman means you have to shell out money, money, money – right out of your pocket.

Now imagine if in addition, you had to pay an additional fee to the custodian every time you needed to cover an expense related to your investment. On top of your financial losses, it can be an enormous expense of time and frustrating to say the least. Would you agree or disagree that this is no way to steward what is more than likely the most important asset you have – your IRA nest egg?

Having a checkbook IRA means practically being able to buy what you need when you need it and not when you can chase down your custodian for a signature. As you probably already know, sometimes the best investments are made before others learn about them. Without checkbook writing privileges, great investment opportunities could be missed.

What Does Checkbook Control Of Your IRA Mean?

Having checkbook control means you get to manage your self-directed IRA account to maximize your retirement investment. You can invest in practically any way you want. Following is an abridged list of some of what you can invest in with checkbook control: raw land, tax certifications, hard money loans, trust deeds, probate property, commercial real estate, foreign real estate, tax deeds – and much, much more.

Checkbook control gives you the ultimate control over your retirement funds. Call Truly Self Directed IRA (TSD-IRA) to learn more at 877-339-4559.
