What is a Checkbook IRA?

(aka Self-Directed IRA LLC, SDIRA LLC, or the LLC owned by the IRA)

A Checkbook IRA (aka IRA LLC, or SDIRA LLC, or LLC owned by a SDIRA) is a specialized retirement account that gives the account holder direct access and control over their funds. With this setup, you can independently invest in physical assets like Real Estate, using your retirement account cash, without the burden of transaction fees or custodian paperwork. MyDirect IRA helps you set-up and fund your new Checkbook IRA account, paired with an LLC or Trust, to give you 'Checkbook Control' over your retirement IRA / 401(k) cash. Once the account is established, your IRA / 401(k) funds are then held in a checking account, at a bank of your choice, accessible only to you. This enables you to write checks and send wires to make investments directly on behalf of your retirement account; all tax free, and penalty free.

Unlike your current retirement account, The Checkbook IRA permits retirement account owners to invest in physical assets, like Real Estate, Tax Liens, Private business, and so much more!

What Can an IRA LLC / IRA Trust Invest In?

With a Self-Directed IRA LLC / IRA Trust with checkbook control, you have the freedom to invest in almost any asset. A Checkbook IRA LLC / IRA Trust is ideal for time-sensitive investments and investments with many transactions, as all transactions can be completed quickly and easily.

What People Are Saying...

Jason B, TX

Ted Erickson at MyDirect IRA is the rarest of the rare individuals. He is super responsive, both by email and by phone. He addressed every question and concern I had for setting up a "checkbook IRA". Where most other professionals would have left it to me to push the last few steps through, Ted continued to follow up without me requesting it until the process was fully complete. It's refreshing to experience someone who takes pride in every nuance of a project and continues to run the court with unyielding energy until the last buzzer sounds. If you need legal help with any facet of self-directed IRA accounts, Ted at MyDirect IRA is the All-Star you want on your team.

Norman Mejia

I had the opportunity to work with Ted in the diversification of my retirement funds. Ted was informative, efficient and extremely helpful. I had spoken with other agencies and was overwhelmed by the amount of work they required to open an account. Ted made the process simple and easy, and he walked me through from beginning to end. I would highly recommend Ted if you are looking to open a self-directed IRA

Richard Hammill

After much research and review reading on the internet I decided on using the services of MyDirectIRA in order to set-up my self-directed IRA LLC. Talking with Ted on the phone, I felt comfortable that he had the knowledge and experience to guide me through the steps necessary to success. Everything is running smooth and I am now able to use my IRA to invest in real estate in order to further diversify my retirement portfolio. A big thank you goes out to Ted and his team at My Direct IRA!
