Are You Ready to Move Forward But Don't Want to Handle the Setup Yourself?
Right now, while you're reading this, other investors are getting their self-directed IRAs funded and closing investment deals while you're still trying to figure out which custodian to choose and whether your investment opportunity will actually work.
You already know you want a self-directed IRA. Maybe you've completed a clarity session, done your research, or you're just tired of traditional investments. But now you're facing the next challenge: actually getting set up with the right custodian and making sure your first investment is structured properly.
Every week you spend trying to navigate this yourself is costing you opportunities. You could spend months calling different custodians, trying to compare their services, fees, and capabilities. You could waste time with the wrong custodian who doesn't actually support your investment type. You could make expensive mistakes structuring your first deal.
Here's what typically happens when investors try to do this alone:
- Custodian selection overwhelm: You research 15+ companies online and still can't tell which one is right for your situation
- Analysis paralysis: You spend weeks comparing fee structures without understanding what really matters for your strategy
- Wrong custodian choice: You pick based on low fees only to discover they don't support your investment type or provide terrible service
- Investment structure mistakes: You move forward with a deal that isn't properly structured for IRA treatment
- Delayed funding: Your account sits empty for months while you try to figure out the transfer process
- Missed opportunities: Great investments pass you by while you're stuck in setup mode
The hidden truth: Even after you choose a custodian, you still need to know if your investment opportunity is actually suitable for your self-directed IRA. Most custodians won't tell you this until after you've opened your account and tried to fund a deal.
The real cost of DIY setup: While you're spending months figuring this out, that 12% return investment you're considering could have already generated thousands in returns. The opportunity cost of delay is often far greater than the cost of getting expert help.
