Self Directed Investor Talk: Alternative Asset Investing Through Self-directed Ira's & Solo 401k's

The SUPREME COURT leveled a massive attack against REAL ESTATE INVESTORS in a huge ruling from yesterday.  This one is big, folks.  I’m Bryan Ellis, and I’ll tell you how they’re stealing your rights again right now in Episode #90----------It’s a somber time as a real estate investor, and a somber time as an American. Yesterday, the US Supreme Court issued major rulings that make it imminently clear that the plain language of a law is not the standard by which the court will rule.  Rather, they’ve ruled egregiously in favor of the expansion of federal power, and against YOUR RIGHTS as a citizen of our once great country.You may think I’m referring to the ruling about Obamacare, the law which is already a disaster from any perspective.  And yes, that case was CERTAINLY an example of ignoring the language of the law in order to expand federal power.  There’s simply no arguing that point.But the case I’m referring to, which is so huge and so distinctly NEGATIVE for real estate investors, was between the Texas De

What’s better than a Self-Directed IRA?  The answer is, of course, a Self-Directed 401k!  It’s everything that the Self Directed IRA is… but safer and far more financially potent.  But do you qualify to have a Self Directed 401k?  I’m Bryan Ellis… I’ll tell you how to make it happen RIGHT NOW in Episode #89----------Greetings, my friends!  I’ve seen one question over and over in various forms, and it’s time I address it!  The question comes from Nathan, who says:“I am a self-employed auto dealer in Walnut Creek, California operating as a sole proprietor.  I currently have a SEP IRA with a small amount invested.  I am interested in investing in a Solo 401K or Self Directed IRA that would allow me to invest in real estate rental properties.    Any information you have would be appreciated.”Thanks for the question, Nathan!  I’ll be delighted to help you clarify that question in this episode.But first, a quick shout-out to my flipping team in Phoenix.  Another job well done, guys!  They completed a deal on Desert

How stupid do they think you are?  It’s the favorite lie of real estate marketers and turnkey rental property:  “Real estate in market X is at the same price it was 5 – 10 – 20 years ago… it’s on sale… it’s time to BUY, BUY, BUY!”  My friends, I’m SICK OF IT…  I’m Bryan Ellis, and I’ll tell you how they’re lying to you, why the lie sounds so reasonable, and exactly why your portfolio is being SCREWED as a result… RIGHT NOW in episode #88--------I just heard it on a radio show… yet again.  It’s a huge lie… but it sounds SO GOOD…I’ll bet you’ve heard it, too.It goes like this:  “In my market, houses are selling for the same price they were selling for 20 years ago… it’s time to BUY, BUY, BUY!”DEAR LORD, people!  That may be the STUPIDEST justification for making an investment I’ve ever heard!  You’ve heard the old line “what goes up must come down”… a condensed version of the laws of gravity, and also a warning against getting involved in investments that are too hot for their own good?  Well, this argument – “

How do you maximize the potential for an inherited IRA… before you inherit it?  And why does this matter for you… even if you don’t expect to inherit an IRA?  I’m Bryan Ellis… I’ll tell you right now in Episode #87…--------The inherited IRA… particularly the inherited ROTH IRA… one of my favorite topics… and one of the most powerful financial tools EVER.I got a great question last week from a listener named Christa, who said:  “I followed your advice in Special Edition #1 from back in February of 2015 where you advised to have a relative create a roth IRA and to specify me as the beneficiary.  My father set up a Roth and deposited a small amount of money into the account as you advised.  What do I do now so I can maximize the benefits of the Roth?”Great question, Christa… and wise thinking on your part.  My friends, what Christa is referring to is one of my absolute favorite strategies.  Just imagine this:  Imagine an account for which, just by virtue of performing your investments in that account, that all o

What happens when the SEC accuses one of the biggest self-directed IRA custodians in America of helping to promote a Ponzi scheme… a scheme which wiped out many MILLIONS of dollars from the accounts of that custodian’s clients?  I’m Bryan Ellis… I’ll give you the latest RIGHT NOW in Episode #86.---------------It’s an ugly, ugly situation, my friends.  And I hope you’re not one of the many unfortunate investors who were victimized.Before I give you all of the sordid details, it’s important that you understand that everything I’m about to share with you is allegation on the part of the SEC.  This has not yet gone to court, though it’s heading there presently.  It’s entirely possible that the huge Self-Directed IRA custodian involved in this situation could be fully exonerated.  They have denied the charges.But I’ve got to tell you… it doesn’t look good for Equity Trust, one of the largest – if not the very largest – self directed IRA custodian.I’ll give you the ugly details about that in just a moment.  But fir

It’s our mantra around here:  Self-Directed Investors should only deploy their capital into opportunities that are SIMPLE and SAFE and STRONG.  In other words, they match our S3 standard.  But what does it mean, really, for an investment to be STRONG… is it just a function of the ROI number?  No, it’s much more than that, and I’ll you exactly why RIGHT NOW.  I’m Bryan Ellis, and this is Episode #85…What does it mean for your investment to be STRONG?Let’s get one thing taken care of right away:  Yes, your investment must be profitable.  The STRENGTH component of the S3 Standard can not be satisfied by an investment that yields a profit below the rate of inflation… or, even worse, an actual loss.And for all of our new listeners… first, welcome!... and next:  the S3 standard is the criteria by which we, as self directed investors, evaluate investment opportunities.  S3 is shorthand for SIMPLE, SAFE and STRONG, which are the 3 baseline characteristics that must be present before an investment opportunity is consi
