Some of the benefits of a “True” Self Directed IRA

• Checkbook Control - Once the account is set up you will have a check book, debit card and everything that comes along with a business checking account.  Simply write a check to make an investment, pay expenses or take care of business without paying more fees or dealing with red tape.
  
• Limited Custodial Participation - A Truly Self-directed IRA account minimizes the custodians' administrative participation; as a result, the self-directed IRA holder doesn't pay additional transactional, special, asset based or holding fees.
  
• Diversification - Participate in both traditional and non-traditional investments and capitalize on your investment knowledge.
  
• Realize gains tax deferred or tax free!!!
