What else should I consider when investing with my self-directed IRA?
Take the time to familiarize yourself with IRAs as an investment vehicle and consult an advisor to talk about tax, legal and financial benefits and responsibilities. It's great to be hands-on, but you don't want to risk the chance of being penalized for breaking an IRS rule. Stay in control, and stay ahead of your IRA investing, by consulting a subject matter expert.
