Right now, your retirement funds are probably locked up and being managed by a handful of bureaucratic monkeys– the same ones who thought the US real estate market would always go up and the Dow would hit 20,000.
But there’s an easy way to take control of your financial destiny– to invest your retirement funds in whatever you like, wherever you like, including foreign real estate.
I’ve long believed that buying property overseas is the single best way to move money out of the country, protecting your capital from a depreciating currency, exchange controls, and government scrutiny. Foreign property is not reportable, and it’s a hell of an insurance policy in case things get really bad.
You probably have the money to buy foreign property sitting right in your retirement account… but you can’t use it because you had to park your funds into one of six paltry mutual funds.
Taking control is critical. If you have an IRA or a retirement plan and are not taking advantage of this simple self-directed structure, you could be making a huge mistake.
So… given the extreme volume of questions that I have received on the subject, I once again turned to my friend and partner Matt to help find the answers. Matt, who is a very astute investor and entrepreneur, went straight to the source– Steve Sheppard, the founder of CheckBookIRA, a company that sets up these self-directed IRA structures.
Matt got Steve on the phone to explain a little more about how the program works– the interview could be the most informative 23 minutes you’ll have this year. You’ll love how Steve’s wife uses her IRA to make 35% a year (tax free) in the cattle business. Near the end Steve says some really great things about our subscribers and mentions the discount that we negotiated specifically for our subscribers.
Do yourself a huge favor… Grab a pen and paper, go to a distraction free environment and set aside the next 23 minutes to listen to this interview.
