How to Invest in Alternative Investments

In this episode, we explore the basics of self-directed IRAs and how they work. Discover the wide range of alternative investments you can make, from hotels and self-storage units to real estate and even businesses.

Self-directed IRAs are less complicated than they seem and align perfectly with my philosophy of investing beyond the stock market into real estate and alternatives. Join me as I break down the essentials and show you how to diversify your investment portfolio.

We cover:

  • Impact of tax status on control over IRA funds

  • Overview of alternative investments not available through traditional custodians

  • Comparison of costs between traditional and self-directed IRAs
