The IRA LLC, the Original Checkbook IRA, for Real Estate Investors and more

Learn about how you can take your existing IRA or old 401(k) and invest that cash into what you know and understand, i.e Real Estate

What is the Checkbook IRA LLC?

A Checkbook IRA LLC 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, 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.

Superior Liability Protection

Unlike other self-directed retirement plans, an LLC provides asset protection that safeguards the IRA, IRA owner, and IRA custodian from liabilities that may arise from investments owned by the IRA LLC. This additional layer of liability protection is not found in a classic Self-Directed IRA.
