Open Forum Q&A

from Directed IRA Podcast Hosted by Mat Sorensen and Mark Kohler

Self-directed IRAs allow investors to go beyond traditional markets, but using them properly requires understanding the rules, structure, and process involved. In this live session, Directed IRA Vice President of Sales Nate Hare, along with co-host Daniel Tercey, start with a brief overview of how self-directed IRAs work before opening the discussion to a live Q&A. This format gives attendees the opportunity to ask practical questions and get straightforward answers about using retirement accounts to invest in alternative assets. This is not intended to be a deep legal or tax presentation. Instead, the goal is to help investors better understand the fundamentals – what self-directed IRAs allow, how the process works, and what to consider before making your first investment. Whether you’re just beginning to explore self-directed retirement accounts or already investing in real estate, private funds, startups, crypto, precious metals, or other alternative assets, this open forum is a chance to get clarity on the questions many investors encounter along the way. This session is ideal if you’re newer to self-directed investing, exploring alternatives for the first time, or want a clearer understanding of the basics before going deeper.
