Kaaren Hall - Knowing Advantages of Self Directed IRA

Key Takeaways

Alternative investments exclude collectibles like art and cars, as well as assets that involve personal use or benefit.

Self-directed IRAs allow individuals to invest in various assets, such as rental properties, without directly benefiting from them or performing any related work.

Short-term rentals, including Airbnb, can be included in an IRA investment, but the tax implications can be complex depending on whether the income is considered passive or active.

Different types of IRAs include traditional, Roth, SEP, simple, solo 401k, and health savings accounts (HSA).

Tax considerations such as UBIT and UDFI may apply to IRA investments and could result in taxes owed, but deductions can help offset the tax liability.

It's important to have a cushion in your self-directed IRA to cover expenses and potential capital calls.

Self-directed IRA providers like uDirectIRA make the investment process easy with dedicated transaction coordinators.
