Most people have never heard of Self-Directed IRAs (SD IRAs). And those who discover them, can’t believe no one ever told them about them beforehand.

$20 Trillion

Americans have some $20 trillion (yes trillion!) in retirement dollars (IRAs, 401k, etc.) About 95-97% of those dollars are invested in Wall Street, i.e. stocks, bonds and mutual funds. Many people are unhappy with the Market, but don’t know what else to do.

Only a small percent has learned that they can take their retirement dollars out of Wall Street and invest it elsewhere. For instance, they can invest in actual real estate; in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies; in tax liens; in loans and mortgage notes. Some are even investing in Arabian race horses, treasure hunt amusement parks, Hollywood films, etc.

An SD IRA opens an entirely new field that most people in the $20 trillion group have no idea existed.

Why This Book Is Different

The challenge has been explaining this to people. Letting them know that this possibility even exists. And explaining it simply in ways everyone can understand. That’s what this book by Jeff Astor is about. It explains all the basics in plain English. In an hour or so of reading, you will learn 95% or more of the basics about SD IRAs. And the part you don’t know, you’ll know how to find it and/or whom to ask. This book is a breakthrough in that regard. No other book on the subject explains so much so simply so succinctly.

The author has manned the phones at Broad Financial, an industry leader in self-directed plans, daily for five years. He’s been in contact with some 10,000 people during that time, explaining the basics and clarifying even the most complex questions with straightforward answers. Now, he’s distilled his knowledge in one place, in a “quick no-nonsense guide,” breaking down the information into small, bite-size chunks, and even throwing in a little humor.
