In Episode 77 of the Self-Directed IRA Q&A podcast hosted by Mat Sorensen, the focus was on a range of topics including start-ups, syndicates, RMD, crypto, FDIC, and the Side Door Solo 401k option.

The episode started with a discussion on start-ups, where Mat discussed the importance of conducting proper due diligence before investing in any start-up. He advised listeners to look for a strong management team and a clearly defined business model before investing.

The conversation then moved on to syndicates, where Mat explained how investing in a syndicate through a self-directed IRA can be a good option for those who are not accredited investors. He further elaborated on how to find syndicates that may be a good fit for your IRA, and the importance of reviewing the operating agreement and performing due diligence on the sponsor.

The next topic covered was RMD or Required Minimum Distributions. Mat shared some tips on how to calculate RMDs and the consequences of not taking distributions on time.

The podcast also touched upon the topic of cryptocurrency investments in self-directed IRAs. Mat cautioned listeners to be aware of the risks involved in investing in cryptocurrencies and to be prepared for the volatility. He also provided some guidance on how to hold cryptocurrency assets in your self-directed IRA.

The topic of FDIC or Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance was also discussed. Mat explained that while FDIC insurance typically covers up to $250,000 per account, it may not cover alternative assets held in a self-directed IRA. He urged listeners to carefully review the FDIC insurance coverage and to consult with a professional before investing.

Finally, the podcast covered the Side Door Solo 401k option, which allows self-employed individuals to contribute extra funds to their retirement accounts. Mat explained how this type of IRA works, its eligibility requirements, and the tax benefits of contributing to a Solo 401k.

In conclusion, Episode 77 of the Self-Directed IRA Q&A podcast offered a range of valuable insights for those interested in investing in start-ups, syndicates, and other alternative assets through self-directed IRAs. Mat’s expertise and guidance can help listeners navigate the complexities of the self-directed IRA landscape and make informed decisions about their retirement investments.
