If I have two LLC's that do different kind of business, is it legal to have two self-directed IRA accounts, two self-directed Solo 401K? Thanks.
cant make it through…
Im going to listen to the rest of the podcast, but where do you find notes to invest in??
It's very frustrating, I have been trying to work through the process with KKOS (marks company, and was apparent from the start my assigned lawyer, Alison was not knowledgeable in how to set up a self directed Roth IRAand I waited weeks for a reply after paying ($1400) for a revocable personal trust and not getting any updates or direction in what I needed to do next. I have left numerous messages with Alison and with the office manager to no avail. I did figure out on my own how to set up the directed Roth (that company was much more helpful) but not how to set up the checkbook LLC to control it. Impossible to get help from Mark's team…
2 hours and u never actually explained how to cash out and what the fees are or how about a strategy to get the money into my bank account so I can spend it
My sister is a teacher and has 403B through the teacher's union. Can she set up LLC IRA from 403 B?
Another question is if you buy a property from LLC IRA, can you get a loan or it has to be all cash? Thank you for the wonderful educational information.
I am 60, just retired and have a TSP account. If I roll it over to a SDIRA and start to invest in rental property do I have to wait 5 years to start drawing from the SDIRA?
So I can buy rental property with my ira account? That's amazing.
Thank you for this information!
5 minutes in and they still haven't explained a self directed IRA lol

can stocks be rolled over from a brokerage like robinhood, eTrade, etc to a self directed IRA? if so, is the rollover tax free?
