What Does Checkbook Control Of Your IRA Mean?
By Self Directed IRA Advisor | June 25, 2008
A checkbook IRA allows you to have checkbook control of your IRA retirement account.
If you’re a real estate investor, you already know investment expenses can add up quickly and easily. A few trips to Home Depot, a few calls to your handy man and one simple mistake by an inexperienced contractor means money, money, money - right out of your pocket.
Now consider for a moment the thought of having to get approval from your IRA custodian every time you needed to pay an expense related to your investment. It can be time-consuming, expensive and downright annoying, especially if you are up against a deadline. This is no way to handle what is arguably the most important asset you have or is it? After all, sometimes the best opportunities are found “on the spot.”
Checkbook control means being able to buy supplies when you need them, not only after you have caught up with your custodian for an approval and a signature. As you probably already aware, some of the best investment opportunities are made light years before others find out about them. Without checkbook writing privileges, great investment opportunities could be lost forever. This issue alone could cost you potentially thousand of dollars.
How Checkbook Control Expands Your Investment Options?
