Self-Directed IRA 101 – Investing in Main Street vs. Wall Street

Most retirement accounts are boxed into Wall Street—stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. But self-directed IRAs break that mold.

In this live session, Nate Hare, Executive Vice President at Directed IRA, and Lindsay Mersino, Executive Director of Operations at Directed IRA will show you how SDIRAs open the door to private investments—real estate, funds, notes, and more—while keeping the same tax benefits of traditional and Roth IRAs. You’ll also see how everyday investors are using these accounts to move beyond Wall Street’s volatility and into opportunities they know and trust.
