Advantages of the Checkbook IRA LLC

Save Money & Retire Sooner

Checkbook Control

As manager of the IRA LLC, you will have the ability to make IRA investments without seeking the consent of a custodian.

Alternative Investments

Access & Speed

The Self-Directed IRA LLC gives you direct access to your IRA funds so you can invest quickly and efficiently. There’s no need for custodian approval, delays, or review fees.

Digital Dollar

Flat Fees

Invest in alternative assets for a low flat annual fee with no transaction or asset value fees. Also, pay no minimum balance of account termination fees.

House

Limited Liability

Invest your IRA in alternative assets with limited liability protection. This means IRA assets held outside the LLC will be shielded from attack.

Assets

Asset & Creditor Protection

Your IRA will be protected for up to $1.3 million in the case of personal bankruptcy. In addition, most states will shield a Self-Directed IRA from creditor attack against the holder outside of bankruptcy.

Grow Your Retirement Funds

Tax-Free Income & Gains

Take advantage of the power of tax deferral and compounding interest by using a Self-Directed IRA to invest. All income and gains generated will be tax deferred (or tax free in the case of a Roth IRA).

How it works

1

Transfer your funds to a passive custodian tax free

Your retirement funds are transferred from your current custodian to a passive custodian like IRA Financial.

2

Establish an LLC and transfer your funds to its account

You can serve as manager of your established LLC. IRA Financial opens your LLC bank account at Capital One then transfers your retirement funds into that new account.

3

Get checkbook control and invest in alternative assets

As manager, you have checkbook control and can direct the LLC to invest in real estate, tax liens, private businesses, metals, and more.
