Self Directed IRA Investing A BiggerPockets Guide The uDirect IRA and BiggerPockets Collaboration Is Here
If you are like most investors, you have spent years contributing to retirement accounts, yet you have had very little say in what those dollars can actually invest in. Most traditional retirement plans keep you in a narrow menu of highly correlated stocks, bonds, and mutual funds, often layered with fees.
That is exactly why uDirect IRA collaborated with BiggerPockets to create Self Directed IRA Investing A BiggerPockets Guide, a practical step by step playbook for investors who want more control, more diversification, and more opportunity inside their retirement accounts.
What this book is and who it is for
Self Directed IRA Investing A BiggerPockets Guide is written for people who want to use retirement funds beyond Wall Street only options and confidently explore alternative assets, including real estate and private investments, through a self directed IRA.
This book is a fit for you if you are a real estate investor who wants to understand how self directed IRAs work and where they fit in your strategy. It is also for you if you are curious about investing retirement funds into alternatives such as real estate, private equity, or notes without getting buried in jargon. And it is for you if you want a clear roadmap and a decision framework that helps you avoid costly mistakes.
What you will learn inside
We built this guide to be approachable, but still detailed enough to be genuinely useful when you are ready to take action.
Inside, you will learn how self directed IRAs work and why they are a powerful tool for investors. You will learn strategies to maximize earnings and reduce risk with smarter diversification. You will learn about the different types of self directed IRAs and how to align the right structure with your goals. You will also gain a broader view of retirement investing and how to think long term in a way that supports your goals and your timeline.
