Everything You Need to Know About Self-Directed IRAs with Checkbook Control

A Self-Directed IRA with Checkbook Control is a supercharged IRA that unleashes the full potential of your IRA and enables you to go beyond stocks and bonds. It enables you to invest your retirement money directly into real estate, private placements, promissory notes, and more without having to contact your IRA custodian for everyday transactions - thus saving you time and money. It has the same tax benefits as a regular IRA and can be set up as a Traditional, Roth, or SEP Self-Directed IRA.

How Does It Work?

Together with our sister company, Madison Trust, we simplified the process to four steps - Open, Fund, Create, and Invest.

1. Open

You open your account by completing our easy online application.

2. Fund

To fund your account, we assist you in transferring or rolling over your existing IRA, 401(k),or other retirement account or by making an initial contribution.

3. Create

We establish a new LLC or Trust for your IRA, which will serve as your IRAs self-directed investing platform. We appoint you as its manager or trustee, authorized to make all investment decisions. At your direction, we will fund your IRA LLC or trust at the bank of your choosing.

4. Invest

You can begin placing investments by simply writing a check or sending a wire. The process from start to finish is typically 2-3 weeks.
