When Should You Use an IRA LLC or Checkbook IRA?

One of the most common questions we receive from self-directed investors is:

Do I need an IRA LLC?

The answer depends entirely on what you’re investing in and how you plan to invest.

For some investors, an IRA LLC can provide speed, flexibility, and greater control over investment activity. For others, it may add unnecessary complexity and cost.

In this live webinar, Mat Sorensen and Kevin Kennedy of KKOS Lawyers will discuss when an IRA LLC makes sense, when it doesn’t, and the key legal and compliance considerations investors should understand before setting one up.

Date: Tuesday, June 16thTime: 12:00 PM PT
