“Investing in a self-directed IRA is the best kept secret! The process to purchase real estate using my IRA savings is fairly simple and after flipping the property, all profits remain in the IRA account without capital gains. It’s a win-win for me since I left my corporate job and don’t regularly make contributions. This works!”
