What Does Checkbook Control Of Your IRA Mean?
Written by Self Directed IRA Advisor on June 22nd, 2008A checkbook IRA allows you to have checkbook control of your IRA retirement account.
If have been an investor in real estate for any amount of time, then you know first hand how quickly unintended expenses can eat up your potential profits. A few trips to the local hardware store, a few simple mistakes by an inexperienced contractor can affect your potential return on investment.
Now consider for a moment the thought of having to get approval from your IRA custodian every time you needed to pay an expense related to your investment. It can be time-consuming, expensive and downright annoying, especially if you are up against a deadline. This is no way to handle what is arguably the most important asset you have or is it? After all, sometimes the best opportunities are found “on the spot.”
Checkbook control means being able to buy supplies when you need them, not only after you have caught up with your custodian for an approval and a signature. As you probably already aware, some of the best investment opportunities are made light years before others find out about them. Without checkbook writing privileges, great investment opportunities could be lost forever. This issue alone could cost you potentially thousand of dollars.
How does a Checkbook IRA Expand Your Investment Options?
Having checkbook control means you get to manage your IRA retirement account to maximize your retirement investment. Checkbook control of your IRA gives you the ability to invest in practically any way you see fit. The following is a short list of what you can invest in with your Checkbook IRA: undeveloped land, tax liens, hard money loans, private notes, commercial real estate, discounted paper - the list is practically endless.
