How long does it take to make an investment with a self-directed IRA?
That depends. Working with a traditional self-directed IRA custodian makes investments like tax liens, foreclosure homes and real estate difficult. With a traditional self-directed IRA custodian, the client cannot have any personal interaction with the IRA funds. They have to petition the IRA custodian to make an investment on their behalf. Banks move at a pace much slower pace than the investment community, and it can take weeks to complete a transaction. On the other hand, Guidant Financial Group’s clients benefit from having complete “check-book” control and immediate access to their retirement funds, so they CAN participate in such transactions quickly and efficiently!
