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

https://selfdirected.org/podcasts/investor-talk/traditional-ira401k-chopping-block-congress-episode-265/   The Big Idea Some people in Congress are very foolishly considering cutting your right to deduct contributions to your IRA or 401(k).  Here's why, and what we'll do about it... Points To Ponder Some in Congress appear to be considering cutting the tax deduction for contributions to traditional IRA's or 401(k)'s President Trump wants to cut corporate and personal income taxes dramatically Some simpletons in Congress want to reinstate taxes on contributions to IRA's/401k's to "pay" for this tax cut This opinion reflects profound ignorance on the part of Congress, and those who demand "revenue neutral" tax reform Bryan doesn't think this will happen, but the fact it's being seriously discussed is of great concern Stay tuned to Self Directed Investor Talk for more instructions as this situation develops Resources Episode #265 of Self Directed Investor Talk is here Self Directed IRA's - https://Self

https://SelfDirected.org/263 The Big IdeaThe Trump Administration has proposed a series of tax cut objectives which will, as a whole, have tremendously stimulative effect on the economy. But there's one problem: Part of the proposal could hurt your self-directed IRA...Points To PonderThe Trump Administration has provided a list of policy goals which will dramatically reduce personal and corporate tax ratesThe effects of such tax cuts will be very stimulative to the economy, as has been shown repeatedly and undeniably in the pastPart of the proposal is to reduce corporate income tax rates from 35% to 15%Much to the delight of most observers, Trump wants to extend that rate to pass-through entities like LLC's and S-Corporations, which will result in an effective tax cut there as wellHowever, if your own an LLC in your IRA, it could mean that your LLC is obligated to pay 15% tax on its profits, which would defeat the purpose of owning the LLC in an IRAThis is not a certainty and may be worked out as th

A “real estate IRA” is theoretically an IRA that’s better suited for purchasing real estate than other IRA’s Under the law, there’s no such thing as a real estate IRA (or a “self-directed IRA”)! That name is used to get your attention, because big dollars are stake for custodians, some of which willfully mislead with statements like these: "Technically speaking, a Self-Directed IRA is not any different than any other IRA (or 401k)" -- https://www.trustetc.com/self-directed-ira/faqs "A real estate IRA is technically no diffe
