I get this question a lot; what type of account can my rollover IRA be put into? People consider me something of an expert. I do have quite a bit of investment experience and have been self-directing my retirement account for many years. We are offering at the moment one of the few real estate investments around where the ROI is guaranteed. Actually the ROI is guaranteed to be at least double what your ROI was on your traditional investments last year. Do yourself a favor and check this out. Now please carry on.
It's easy to make a mistake. I've seen people do it many times. I like to try and help people avoid those mistakes, whenever I can. So, below you will see a little Q&A that should help you make the right decisions.
What type of account can my rollover IRA be put into, without risking its tax-sheltered nature? If you take a roll-over, you have 60 days to redeposit the fund into another IRS approved plan. The custodial company must be approved by the IRS, as well. If you miss the 60 day deadline, you may be able to get an "exception" and still retain your tax-free status, but you must have proof that you "tried" to meet the deadline.
If you miss the deadline and can't get an exception, the entire account value must be reported on your year-end tax returns. Roth accounts are handled differently, since contributions are taxed as regular income for the year they are made. Only earnings within the account would be subject to taxes, if you missed the 60 day deadline.
Your account choices include the following: IRA-CD; offered at most banks, returns average less than 4% Mutual funds or stocks; offered by custodial companies that are also stock brokers, historically average returns are less than 8%, but because of the volatile nature of the stock market, you can't really count on it 401K; offered by employers and available for small business owners Roth; if you convert from a traditional to a Roth, the entire account value is subject to taxation as regular income for that year. There are maximum earning levels for those that want to convert to a Roth Self-directed account; offers the widest range of investment choices, only a few custodial companies offer the option.
What type of account can my rollover IRA be put into and are there other transactions that I might use instead? Instead of taking a rollover, you can always "transfer" the fund from one approved custodian to another. Transfers are not reported to the IRS and do not jeopardize the tax-status of the account.
What type of account can my rollover IRA be put into, if I'm self-directing? You can still invest in publicly traded stocks, but you can also invest in real estate, an increasingly popular option. The real estate market is affected by the economy, but it is not as volatile as the stock market. If you make good choices, it is possible to earn 30% per year or more in the housing market.

Double your ROI In Your Roth IRA (Individual Retirement Account) Yes Please!
I was just sitting at home the other night, when the phone rang. Picking it up I found that it was Shirley, you will remember Shirley and Neil, I have written about some of their trials and triumphs over the years. Anyway after the usual pleasantries, Shirley told me that a friend of hers had invested in our real estate program and was telling everyone about the guaranteed ROI they were getting. Shirley wanted to know more about it, and if she could, she wanted a piece of the action.
I started out by asking her how she intended financing this investment and she told me that they had received a very good offer for their last rental house investment that they bought in their self directed Roth IRA. Now, I had seen this house, having met Shirley and Neil while they were on vacation near the house, and it was a beautiful house, indeed, they were talking about taking distribution of the house when they retired and living in it. They could do this because they had a self directed Roth IRA, and they wouldn't have to pay tax on the property, and they would not be breaking the rules. I mentioned this to Shirley but she said it was a fair way to retirement day, and she would be able to make more money investing the money from the house.
She seemed determined, so I decided to tell her exactly what the rules were. We don't guarantee how much money you will make. But we will guarantee you will earn at least double whatever your last 12 months ROI in traditional investment vehicles such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds etc. If you don't experience double returns from the community investments we are involved in, we'll pay it ourselves. There, that's straight from the corporation.
As I have mentioned in other articles I have written, this is one of the few real estate investments on the market where the ROI is guaranteed. I have read the market report put out by the corporation, and also a few of the testimonials that some of the investers have written, and I can tell you, these people are laughing all the way to the bank. I strongly urge you to check this information out for yourselves.

Yes, You can Double Your ROI With A Self Directed Roth IRA (Individual Retirement Account)
My son and I were sitting outside a cafe on the waterfront, just soaking up the suns rays and having an ice cold beer. When an old friend Tom walked by, we invited him to sit down, bought him a beer and we started talking. You will remember Tom, I have written about him before, he works for a management company that handles self directed IRAs. Anyway, we were discussing when clients should be encouraged to convert over to a self directed Roth IRA. Tom said to minimize the tax they had to pay, he actively encouraged them to convert to a self directed Roth IRA when they turned over four houses or more a year.
This may be a good time to explain exactly what a self directed Roth IRA is. The important thing to remember with a Roth is that the contributions you put into the account are not tax deductible. As long as you have had the account open five years or more, and you are over fifty nine and one half years of age, the money that you take out when you retire is not taxed, ever. To be eligible for a Roth IRA, if you are single or head of the house, you can not earn more than $116,000, in the year that you start your Roth up. You can only put in contributions of $5000 per year, until you are fifty years of age or over, then you can up it to $6000 per year. If you expect to do a lot of investing, a Roth is the only way to go.
We talked about the fact that the baby boomer generation are converting their 401(k)s over to a self directed Roth IRA in ever increasing numbers. Maybe that's because, rolling over your 401(k)s is a great way of financing your real estate deals. More and more, people are waking up to the fact that the banks and brokerage houses are ripping them off. They are finding their way to freedom by investing in real estate. There is still money being made in real estate if you know where to invest, especially when the profit you make is tax free.
I wrote an article last week, about how some of you were asking, "Is my self directed IRA guaranteed?" Well, I told you it was not guaranteed. Very few investments are these days, however, having said that, we are offering one of the few real estate investments where the ROI is guaranteed. Indeed, the ROI is guaranteed to be at least double the percentage that your investments earned last year. Yes, at least double, what your ROI was last year. You will understand what I am saying when you check it out. Now I had a very good response to my articles last week, and it makes my heart glad, it really does, and I want to thank everyone of you who signed up. One of the additional advantages of investing in a self directed Roth IRA is the fact it utilizes the power of compound interest, over and over.

Generate Greater ROI Through Self Directed IRA Real Estate Investing
Every day more people are realizing the huge potential of self directed IRA real estate investing. Have you thought about diversifying your invesment portfolio by using this strategy?
If your an employee, you probably have a retirement savings plan set up by your employer like a 401k, the money will be invested in diversified assets like stocks, bonds and mutual funds. It's a great idea to set aside a small percentage of your pay towards your retirement. However, the one downside is you have no control how the money is invested, and how profitable the plan will be over time, effecting the amount of money you end up with.
To improve your chances of greater wealth by retirement, think about creating multiple streams of income by diversifying into other asset classes including real estate. There are many ways to make money from real estate, but keep in mind, there are just as many ways to lose money as well. The answer to profitable property investing, if you haven't done it before, is to become more knowledgeable on the subject, get some good help and advice, and be aware of all the issues before making any commitments.
People working full time are disadvantaged at real estate investing because they are time poor. Their opportunity to look at properties is limited; therefore they need help from people within the industry. Providing they can get this support, there are great benefits using a self directed IRA real estate investment strategy. Current statistics indicate that less than 4% of Americans have a self directed IRA. This figure is increasing rapidly, yet it's still very small. We assume most workers don't know they exist, because its not in the best interests of their employer sponsored retirement plan bankers or brokers to enlighten them.
The benefits of using a truly self directed IRA are you are in control, and have few restrictions in the assets you can invest in. Owners of self directed IRAs might have considered real estate investing already. But, 401k and traditional IRA account holders should seriously think about rolling over some of their funds into a self directed IRA and invest in other asset types. There are innovative real estate developments happening right now, that are earning investors up to double the ROI that are being realized through conventional stocks and bonds investing.
Should you decide to pursue a self directed IRA real estate solution and have not invested in residential property before. Be sure to get guidance and advice from a trusted friend, or reputable financial advisor before making any commitments. There are also trustworthy companies in the marketplace that can advise and help you with purchasing real estate. Keep things simple, often a straightforward turnkey approach requiring less of your time is a good way to go.
In conclusion, having a 401k or IRA retirement savings plan is a good start to wealth generation. However, take some positive action and increase your opportunity for making higher ROI by starting a self directed IRA real estate investment strategy. The earlier you learn to invest, and create multiple passive income streams, the sooner you will create more retirement wealth.

Did You Know That You Can Take Only One Free IRA Rollover Per Year?
You need to know that you can only take one tax free IRA rollover in a 12 month period. You also need to know that you only have 60 days to redeposit the fund into another IRS approved plan. Other penalties or financial institution charges may apply, but taxes are your biggest concerns.
Since, most contributions are pre-tax or tax deductible, the fund itself is subject to taxation. It's your money, but unless you have a Roth, you cannot withdraw anything from the fund until after you retire. Even then, if you have a traditional account, you will pay taxes on the distributions that you take during a year's time.
I thought you might like to know about the guaranteed real estate investment we are offering at the moment. It is not only guaranteed, but your ROI is guaranteed to be at least double the amount you earned on your traditional investments last year. This would be the safest investment being offered at this time. I would strongly urge you to check out this investment.
Instead of a free IRA rollover, you might want to consider "transferring" the fund. Rollovers involve you as the middle man. Assets within the account are liquidated and a check is made payable directly to you.
If instead, you instruct your custodian to transfer the fund to a new custodian, the transaction is not reported to the IRS and you'll have no tax worries. In addition, many assets held within the account can be transferred directly to the new financial institution, without requiring liquidation. These could be beneficial, as liquidation sometimes locks in losses, particularly if your account is heavily invested in the stock market.
For example, because of what's been going on in the market over the last year, 401Ks and other retirement accounts have lost an average of 20% in the last 12 months. If things begin to improve, investors may recoup some of those losses, but if they liquidate or rollover now, they will "lock-in" that loss that is now only on paper.
Before you take your free IRA rollover, check out the custodial companies that are available. Some of them offer more investment choices and charge lower fees than others. For example, one company charges $75 for conversions or transfers. Another company charges nothing for that service. Generally speaking, a reasonable annual fee is better than paying lots of different per-transaction fees.
Self-directed custodians allow you to earn more by fully diversifying. You have more control over decisions and you can get into the real estate market. You might not know anything about real estate, but I can tell you that returns are much higher than what you see with other types of investments.
Right after you take your free IRA rollover, you will have more un-invested cash in the account and that's the best time to look for profitable real estate deals. You see, the account can get financing to buy property, but there is a cost.
Anytime that financing is needed, profits and earnings are subject to UBIT. That's the Unrelated Business Income Tax. You want to use the account to avoid capital gains and other kinds of taxes. So, cash deals are the best choices.
