Most people have never heard of Self-Directed IRAs (SD IRAs)…
And those who discover them, can’t believe no one ever told them about them beforehand.
$20 Trillion
Americans have some $20 trillion (yes trillion!) in retirement dollars (IRAs, 401k, etc.). About 97% of those dollars are invested in Wall Street, i.e. stocks, bonds and mutual funds. Many people are unhappy with the Market, but don’t know what else to do.
Go Off Wall Street
Only a small percent have learned that they can take their retirement dollars out of Wall Street and invest them elsewhere. For instance, they can invest in real estate; in bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies (very hot now); in gold and precious metals; in tax liens; in loans and mortgage notes. Some are even investing in things like Arabian race horses, treasure hunt amusement parks, Hollywood films, etc.
An SD IRA opens up an entirely new field of opportunity that most people in the $20 trillion group have no idea exists.
Why This Book Is Different
The challenge has been informing people of this: letting them know that it exists and explaining it simply in ways everyone can understand. That’s what this book by Jeff Astor is about. It explains all the basics in plain English. In an hour or so of reading, you will learn 95% or more of the basics about SD IRAs. And the part you don’t know, you’ll know how to find it and/or whom to ask. This book is a breakthrough in that regard. No other book on the subject explains so much so simply so succinctly.
The author has manned the phones at Broad Financial, an industry leader in self-directed plan, daily for five years. He’s been in contact with some 10,000 people during that time, explaining the basics and clarifying even the most complex questions with straightforward answers. Now, he’s distilled his knowledge in one place, in a “quick no-nonsense guide,” breaking down the information into small, bite-size chunks, and even throwing in a little humor.
Read it and learn about something that may change your life in ways you never thought possible.

The book explains brief information about self direct IRAs which is an alternative investment to move your money out of brokerages and investment houses that hold your retirement money and into your own control to invest in real estate, cryptocurrency, gold, arabian racehorses and etc.
More of a long pamplet than a book. Very generic, vague information that can be easily found online. The book is very short (65 pages) and light on facts. Not really as helpful as other books on the subject.
Excellent overview As advertised, this book is written in plain English and was surprisingly enjoyable to read. The author knows his stuff and doesn’t waste words. Very engaging and very informative.
