Retire rich with a SELF directed IRA

Written simply, easy to understand, after 3 other books, this is the one! Just do it! You can buy and sell real estate, etc and put the profit back in and not pay taxes - follow the rules!
You can do it!

Successful Retirement Planning - Knowing the Right Questions to Ask

One of the main goals of author Nora Peterson, in the publishing of this book, was to share information in an easily understood format to increase the awareness of the multiple options available to retirees and future retirees when considering how to invest and protect hard-earned money accumulated over a lifetime.

The book addresses a wide range of critical aspects to be considered when planning for a long-term retirement. It touches upon subjects we have heard about, some that we haven't, and yet others that should be considered when planning for our future and those of our heirs.

Taking control of our financial future
* Movement of retirement funds into a self-directed IRA
* Understanding the roles and responsibilities of an IRA custodian, trustee, and administrator
* Creating a team of professionals to maximize income-producing opportunities while effectively managing risks - especially as it pertains to unnecessary tax penalties which can and should be avoided

Non-Traditional IRA investment options
* Real Estate
* Purchase and sale of mortgage notes
* Owning a business within an IRA or participating in a business partnership
* Buying precious metals

Managing distributions from our IRA
* Circumstances permitting withdrawals prior to age 59½ without paying a 10% tax penalty for early withdrawal
* Withdrawals to pay for health insurance when unemployed, without incurring a tax penalty
* Withdraw $10,00 to purchase a first home for a child, grandchild, or parent without penalty

Asset Protection and Stretching Your IRA
* Designation of a single beneficiary; and
* Designation of multiple beneficiaries to minimize tax risks

Getting to the "point" according to Nora Peterson:

"The point is getting through this life with the maximum comfort and security you can arrange and ending up with at least a little left over when you're finished."

That is our intended goal, isn't it?

Retire Rich with Self Directed IRA

Just OK.... strong on recommending you do it, not as strong on helping you set it up.

Eye Opener

I purchased this book because I felt nervous having all of my retirement money tied up in the stock market. I knew that other options were available. This book explores those options and alerts you to the pitfalls that await you if you are not careful planning and implementing your strategy.

Great Info, If You Want To Spend A Lot Of Time Managing Your Investments

Now that I'm (hopefully) 5 years away from retirement, I felt it was time to start doing some serious studying about my investments, tax options, and so on. I've read some great books, but this one was just a little much.

The book is full of wonderful information, but it seems to be geared toward people who want to spend quite a bit of time managing their investments and want to get into what I consider more "exotic" investments. Using your IRA to purchase investment real estate, buying groups of mortgages, and various other investments beyond stocks, bonds, and cash are covered. If you are interested in those types of investments then this would be a great book for you, but if you want to keep it fairly simple then there are better books to turn to for advice.
