Understanding self-directed IRAs can help real estate professionals better serve clients who may choose to purchase real estate through their retirement accounts.

Knowing the basic requirements and process can help you recognize when a self-directed IRA is involved, understand how the transaction differs from a traditional real estate purchase, and work more effectively with the account owner, title company, and IRA administrator.

Mountain West IRA provides education and administrative support throughout the process but does not provide financial, tax, legal, or asset advice.
