Book excerpt: Most people have never heard of Self-Directed IRAs (SD IRAs)... And those who discover them, can't believe no one ever told them about them beforehand. $20 Trillion Americans have some $20 trillion (yes trillion!) in retirement dollars (IRAs, 401k, etc.). About 97% of those dollars are invested in Wall Street, i.e. stocks, bonds and mutual funds. Many people are unhappy with the Market, but don't know what else to do. Go Off Wall Street Only a small percent have learned that they can take their retirement dollars out of Wall Street and invest them elsewhere. For instance, they can invest in real estate; in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies (very hot now); in gold and precious metals; in tax liens; in loans and mortgage notes. Some are even investing in things like Arabian race horses, treasure hunt amusement parks, Hollywood films, etc. An SD IRA opens up an entirely new field of opportunity that most people in the $20 trillion group have no idea exists. Why This Book Is Different The challenge has been informing people of this: letting them know that it exists and explaining it simply in ways everyone can understand. That's what this book by Jeff Astor is about. It explains all the basics in plain English. In an hour or so of reading, you will learn 95% or more of the basics about SD IRAs. And the part you don't know, you'll know how to find it and/or whom to ask. This book is a breakthrough in that regard. No other book on the subject explains so much so simply so succinctly. The author has manned the phones at Broad Financial, an industry leader in self-directed plan, daily for five years. He's been in contact with some 10,000 people during that time, explaining the basics and clarifying even the most complex questions with straightforward answers. Now, he's distilled his knowledge in one place, in a "quick no-nonsense guide," breaking down the information into small, bite-size chunks, and even throwing in a little humor. Read it and learn about something that may change your life in ways you never thought possible. Some Of The Things You'll Learn Why Are People Self-Directing? You'll learn about diversifying, rebalancing, hedging against a recession and more. What Can I Invest In? Though real estate is the most common, you can also invest your IRA in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, gold, tax liens, loans, startups, peer-to-peer platforms, exotics and more What Can't I Invest In? You'll learn exactly what to stay away from so that you remain clear of any troubles with the IRS Real People, Real Stories One of my favorite chapters because it's about people like you The 2 Types of SD IRAs: Custodial & Checkbook A key chapter that clearly explains the two fundamentally different self-directed IRA models in the business. Beware of Scams, Fly-By-Nights, Pajama Salesmen & Bad Customer Service Yes, pajama salesmen, other nightmares and how to avoid them all. And much more...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades, banks and brokerage houses effectively convinced us that IRA holdings could be invested only in stocks and CDs. Few people knew that there was a viable alternative that offered both safety and growth. That alternative is real estate. In IRA Wealth, investment expert Patrick W. Rice first teaches you how to turn your IRA into a self-directed account, and then details the many ways in which real estate products can make you rich. The author offers a wide variety of strategies for both the aggressive investor interested in high returns and the conservative investor looking for a steady stream of income—all tax-deferred or tax-exempt. Although it may be a little late to avoid the volatility of the stock market, the lesson has been simple: Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. Patrick Rice now offers you an entirely new basket that holds golden eggs for a bright and rewarding future.

Download or read book Put Your Money Where Your Life Is written by Michael H. Shuman and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learn how to stop investing in Wall Street and start investing in your local community with this practical layperson’s guide. Americans agree on very little these days, but we can all agree on one critical point: Wall Street can no longer be trusted. Yet most of us continue to invest our money in the stocks and bonds of Fortune 500 companies, transferring our capital far from where we live and work. Local investing expert Michael Shuman offers another alternative. He shows how we can use two well-established—but rarely used—investment tools to keep our money close and get a return as good as or better than what we’d get investing in distant, indifferent corporations. Shuman explains the nuts and bolts of self-directed IRAs and solo 401(k)s and how they can be combined with other recently legalized local investing tools. He details how to set these accounts up, identify and evaluate a whole range of local investment opportunities, and make sure account holders stay on the right side of the law. While the book is written for people without a lot of investment experience—Shuman explains concepts like “liquidity” and “diversification” in simple terms—even if you’re as experienced as Warren Buffett, this book will make you rethink everything you know about investing. With Shuman’s expert advice, you can strengthen your investment portfolio and your community, neighborhoods, and schools at the same time! “As so many Americans feel powerless to confront a financial system designed to serve the few, Shuman offers us real choices: tools that align our lives with our values. That’s power. I love this highly readable, timely, surprising book.” —Frances Moore Lappé, coauthor of Daring Democracy and author of Diet for a Small Planet “Local cheese, local beer—and local investing! This is a valuable guide to taking money out of the few giant banks (which are probably using it to underwrite the fossil fuel industry) and putting it to work close to home!” —Bill McKibben, author of Falter “Once again Michael Shuman has given us a clear manual for how well-meaning, good people (the 99.99 percent of us) can put their money where their hearts are—in communities where they live, in local businesses, trade, and retail.” —Vicki Robin, coauthor of Your Money or Your Life and author of Blessing the Hands That Feed Us
