Using a Self-Directed IRA for Real Estate Investments
If you have been following CalTier for any length of time, you have likely seen the term 'self-directed IRA' mentioned several times on our website or in emails. So what is a Self-Directed IRA? Self-directed IRAs (often called SDIRA for short) are self-directed individual retirement accounts that many favor in conjunction with a traditional Roth IRA.

Not only that but as our fund grows in size, so too does the value of the units that an investor holds. ...

Typically, most people have some mix of directly owned stocks or through a mutual fund or EFT, bonds, and perhaps some other asset classes. Real Estate is considered a solid alternative to adding to the mix. Why? It often performs as well as the S&P 500 (historically, this has been the case, as seen in this Fool.com article) but doesn't tend to fluctuate as stocks do.
